OpenBao is an open source identity-based secrets management system. Prior to version 2.5.4, OpenBao's namespaces provide multi-tenant separation. A tenant who intentionally leaks lease identifiers can have their lease and underlying credential revoked or renewed by a user in another tenant via the legacy, undocumented `sys/revoke` and `sys/renew` endpoints. This is fixed in OpenBao v2.5.4.

The remote Fedora 44 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-bf7889aec6 advisory.

    Update to upstream-2.5.4, including fixes for CVE-2026-46358, CVE-2026-46405, and CVE-2026-45808

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - OpenBao is an open source identity-based secrets management system. Prior to version 2.5.4, OpenBao's
    namespaces provide multi-tenant separation. A tenant who intentionally leaks lease identifiers can have
    their lease and underlying credential revoked or renewed by a user in another tenant via the legacy,
    undocumented `sys/revoke` and `sys/renew` endpoints. This is fixed in OpenBao v2.5.4. (CVE-2026-45808)

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - OpenBao is an open source identity-based secrets management system. Prior to version 2.5.2, OpenBao does
    not prompt for user confirmation when logging in via JWT/OIDC and a role with `callback_mode` set to
    `direct`. This allows an attacker to start an authentication request and perform "remote phishing" by
    having the victim visit the URL and automatically log-in to the session of the attacker. Despite being
    based on the authorization code flow, the `direct` mode calls back directly to the API and allows an
    attacker to poll for an OpenBao token until it is issued. Version 2.5.2 includes an additional
    confirmation screen for `direct` type logins that requires manual user interaction in order to finish the
    authentication. This issue can be worked around either by removing any roles with `callback_mode=direct`
    or enforcing confirmation for every session on the token issuer side for the Client ID used by OpenBao.
    (CVE-2026-33757)

  - An authenticated user with access to a kvv2 path through a policy containing a glob may be able to delete
    secrets they were not authorized to read or write, resulting in denial-of-service. This vulnerability did
    not allow a malicious user to delete secrets across namespaces, nor read any secret data. Fxed in Vault
    Community Edition 2.0.0 and Vault Enterprise 2.0.0, 1.21.5, 1.20.10, and 1.19.16. (CVE-2026-3605)

  - Vault is vulnerable to a denial-of-service condition where an unauthenticated attacker can repeatedly
    initiate or cancel root token generation or rekey operations, occupying the single in-progress operation
    slot. This prevents legitimate operators from completing these workflows. This vulnerability,
    CVE-2026-5807, is fixed in Vault Community Edition 2.0.0 and Vault Enterprise 2.0.0. (CVE-2026-5807)

  - OpenBao is an open source identity-based secrets management system. Prior to version 2.5.2, OpenBao
    installations that have an OIDC/JWT authentication method enabled and a role with `callback_mode=direct`
    configured are vulnerable to XSS via the `error_description` parameter on the page for a failed
    authentication. This allows an attacker access to the token used in the Web UI by a victim. The
    `error_description` parameter has been replaced with a static error message in v2.5.2. The vulnerability
    can be mitigated by removing any roles with `callback_mode` set to `direct`. (CVE-2026-33758)
