SCA: security update for github.com/openbao/openbao (GHSA-7ff4-jw48-3436)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436156

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 2.4.4, a privileged
 operator could use the identity group subsystem to add a root policy to a group identity group, escalating
 their or another user's permissions in the system. Specifically this is an issue when: an operator in the
 root namespace has access to identity/groups endpoints and an operator does not have policy access.
 Otherwise, an operator with policy access could create or modify an existing policy to grant root-
 equivalent permissions through the sudo capability. This issue has been patched in version 2.4.4.
 (CVE-2025-64761)
