An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-54999 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/openbao/openbao (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.0.0-20250806193356-4d9b5d3d6486\n- github.com/openbao/openbao (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.0.0-20250806193356-4d9b5d3d6486\n- github.com/openbao/openbao (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.0.0-20250806193356-4d9b5d3d6486\n- github.com/openbao/openbao (Go): affected from 0.1.0; fixed in 2.3.2\n- github.com/openbao/openbao (Go): affected from 0.1.0; fixed in 2.3.2\n- openbao (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 0.0.0-20250806193356-4d9b5d3d6486, 2.3.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54999/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54999/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-54999","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54999/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-54999","record":{"aliases":["BIT-openbao-2025-54999","GHSA-hh28-h22f-8357","GO-2025-3854"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenBao secrets manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can enumerate valid usernames in OpenBao's userpass auth method via timing side-channels, potentially aiding further attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"openbao","vendor":"openbao"}],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-203","name":"Observable Discrepancy"}],"description":"OpenBao exists to provide a software solution to manage, store, and distribute sensitive data including secrets, certificates, and keys.

This is independent of whether the supplied credentials were valid for the given user. This issue was fixed in version 2.3.2. To work around this issue, users may use another auth method or apply rate limiting quotas to limit the number of requests in a period of time: https://openbao.org/api-docs/system/rate-limit-quotas/.","ecosystems":["Bitnami","Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"OpenBao: Timing Side-Channel in Userpass Auth Method","id":"CVE-2025-54999","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2025"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"OpenBao TOTP Secrets Engine Enables Code Reuse","id":"CVE-2025-55000"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["0.0.0-20250806193356-4d9b5d3d6486","2.3.2"],"introduced":["0","0.0.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"openbao","purl":"pkg:bitnami/openbao","source":"BIT-openbao-2025-54999"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.0.0-20250806193356-4d9b5d3d6486"],"introduced":["0","0.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/openbao/openbao","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/openbao/openbao","source":"GO-2025-3854"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.0.0-20250806193356-4d9b5d3d6486"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/openbao/openbao","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hh28-h22f-8357"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.0.0-20250806193356-4d9b5d3d6486"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/openbao/openbao","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/openbao/openbao","source":"GHSA-hh28-h22f-8357"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.3.2"],"introduced":["0.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/openbao/openbao","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hh28-h22f-8357"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.3.2"],"introduced":["0.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/openbao/openbao","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/openbao/openbao","source":"GHSA-hh28-h22f-8357"}],"prev":{"headline":"OpenBao Userpass and LDAP User Lockout Bypass","id":"CVE-2025-54998"},"products":["openbao"],"published":"2025-08-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"OpenBao lacks user confirmation for OIDC direct callback mode","id":"CVE-2026-33757","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-27"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"OpenBao has Reflected XSS in its OIDC authentication error message","id":"CVE-2026-33758","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-27"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"OpenBao: Privileged Operator May Execute Code on the Underlying Host","id":"CVE-2025-54997","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"OpenBao Privileged Operator Identity Group Root Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-64761","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-25"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"OpenBao vulnerable to denial of service via malicious JSON request processing","id":"CVE-2025-59043","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-17"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"OpenBao Root Namespace Operator May Elevate Token Privileges","id":"CVE-2025-54996","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-09"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"OpenBao Vulnerable to Unauthenticated Rekey Operation Cancellation","id":"CVE-2025-52894","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-25"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Go Vulnerability Database","prefix":"GO"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-11","vendors":["openbao"]},"summary":"Attackers can enumerate valid usernames in OpenBao's userpass auth method via timing side-channels, potentially aiding further attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-54999/"}
