medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440687
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 2.5.3, when OpenBao
revoked privileges on a role in the PostgreSQL database secrets engine, OpenBao failed to use proper
database quoting on schema names provided by PostgreSQL. This could lead to role revocation failures, or
more rarely, SQL injection as the management user. This vulnerability was original from HashiCorp Vault.
The vulnerability is addressed in v2.5.3. As a workaround, audit table schemas and ensure database users
cannot create new schemas and grant privileges on them. (CVE-2026-39946)
Solution
Update the github.com/openbao/openbao library and its related packages to version 0.0.0-20260420155735-b596b0882620 or later.See Also
