Description
Impact
During certain error conditions, OpenBao Agent's exec rendering mode will incorrectly write secrets specified in env_template to stdout. This primarily happens when num_retries is met.
This vulnerability is original to Vault and was reported via the OpenBao security mailing list.
Patches
This is addressed in OpenBao v2.6.0 GA.
NVD description
OpenBao is an open source identity-based secrets management system. Prior to 2.6.0, OpenBao Agent's exec rendering mode could write secrets from env_template to standard output when command/agent/exec/exec.go re-created the template runner after repeated rendering failures, primarily after num_retries was reached. A process supervisor, log collector, or local user able to read that output could obtain the rendered secret values. This issue is fixed in version 2.6.0.
