SCA: security update for github.com/openbao/openbao (GHSA-6mwx-4547-5vc9)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443697
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 2.5.5, OpenBao used
EscapeLDAPValue, an RFC 4514 distinguished-name escaping function, where RFC 4515 LDAP search-filter
escaping was required in sdk/helper/ldaputil/client.go GetUserDN. With the LDAP authentication backend
configured for an Active Directory UPNDomain path or UserDN and UserAttr binding, an attacker-controlled
username containing filter metacharacters could alter the search predicate and select a different
directory entry because EscapeLDAPValue does not neutralize the characters handled by ldap.EscapeFilter. A
resulting token could be associated with another LDAP identity and gain access to secrets, policies, or
modification capabilities assigned to that identity. This issue is fixed in version 2.5.5.
(CVE-2026-55770)
Solution
Update the github.com/openbao/openbao library and its related packages to version 0.0.0-20260617104213-10b7825c714c or later.See Also
