SCA: security update for github.com/openbao/openbao (GHSA-rxp7-9q75-vj3p)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437255

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 2.3.1 and below, OpenBao's Login Multi-Factor Authentication
 (MFA) system allows enforcing MFA using Time-based One Time Password (TOTP). Due to normalization applied
 by the underlying TOTP library, codes were accepted which could contain whitespace; this whitespace could
 bypass internal rate limiting of the MFA method and allow reuse of existing MFA codes. This issue was
 fixed in version 2.3.2. To work around this, use of rate-limiting quotas can limit an attacker's ability
 to exploit this: https://openbao.org/api-docs/system/rate-limit-quotas/. (CVE-2025-55003)
