SCA: security update for github.com/openbao/openbao (GHSA-q8cj-789h-vg24)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442430

Description

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
 inline auth functionality incorrectly redacted audit log entries, resulting in non-auth headers being
 removed and auth-related headers being retained in cleartext. This requires an attacker to compromise
 access to the audit device. Operators should review leaked source authentication material and rotate it as
 appropriate. This is fixed in OpenBao v2.5.4. (CVE-2026-46358)

Solution

Update the github.com/openbao/openbao library and its related packages to version 2.5.4 or later.
