SCA: security update for github.com/openbao/openbao (GHSA-hh28-h22f-8357)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437061

Description

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

 - OpenBao exists to provide a software solution to manage, store, and distribute sensitive data including
 secrets, certificates, and keys. In versions 0.1.0 through 2.3.1, when using OpenBao's userpass auth
 method, user enumeration was possible due to timing difference between non-existent users and users with
 stored credentials. This is independent of whether the supplied credentials were valid for the given user.
 This issue was fixed in version 2.3.2. To work around this issue, users may use another auth method or
 apply rate limiting quotas to limit the number of requests in a period of time: https://openbao.org/api-
 docs/system/rate-limit-quotas/. (CVE-2025-54999)
