SCA: security update for github.com/openbao/openbao (GHSA-xp75-r577-cvhp)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 437329

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, some OpenBao deployments intentionally limit
 privileged API operators from executing system code or making network connections. However, these
 operators can bypass both restrictions through the audit subsystem by manipulating log prefixes. This
 allows unauthorized code execution and network access that violates the intended security model. This
 issue is fixed in version 2.3.2. To workaround, users can block access to sys/audit/* endpoints using
 explicit deny policies, but root operators cannot be restricted this way. (CVE-2025-54997)
