AC:H because exploitation requires obtaining a cross-namespace lease ID, an explicit prerequisite per the advisory, not a trivial network-reachability condition.

Alpine Linux: openbao fixed in 2.5.4-r0
AnalysisAI
Cross-namespace lease revocation in OpenBao allows an authenticated user in one namespace to revoke or renew leases belonging to a different namespace via legacy, undocumented API endpoints that bypass ACL enforcement. Affected versions are OpenBao <= 2.5.3 in deployments where the namespace feature is active for multi-tenancy. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the OpenBao cluster must be running version 2.5.3 or earlier with the namespace feature active and multiple distinct tenants present; (2) the attacker must hold valid authentication credentials for any namespace in the cluster - the CVSS vector PR:L confirms low-privilege authenticated access is sufficient; (3) the attacker must possess a lease ID from the victim namespace - the GHSA advisory explicitly states this requires intentional leakage by the victim tenant, such as through shared logs, exposed API responses, or insider disclosure. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:L reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity exploit by any authenticated user. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated user in OpenBao namespace 'tenant-a' obtains a lease ID from namespace 'tenant-b' - for example, through a misconfigured application that logs lease IDs in a shared observability stack, or through deliberate insider disclosure. The attacker sends an authenticated HTTP PUT to /v1/sys/revoke/{leaked_lease_id} on the legacy endpoint, which processes the request without enforcing namespace ACL boundaries. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade OpenBao to version 2.5.4, which is confirmed as the fixed release via the GitHub release tag at https://github.com/openbao/openbao/releases/tag/v2.5.4 and upstream commit c0495646b41cea0e3f5a1030132e9cf5c2375b5c. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all OpenBao deployments with namespace feature active and verify whether systems run version 2.5.3 or earlier. …
