An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-55001 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 0.0.0-20250807212521-c52795c1ef74\n- github.com/openbao/openbao (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.0.0-20250807212521-c52795c1ef74\n- github.com/openbao/openbao (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.0.0-20250807212521-c52795c1ef74\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 0.0.0-20250807212521-c52795c1ef74, 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-2025-55001/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-55001/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-55001","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-55001/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-55001","record":{"aliases":["BIT-openbao-2025-55001","GHSA-2q8q-8fgw-9p6p","GO-2025-3859"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"OpenBao secrets manager","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass MFA requirements in OpenBao by exploiting username normalization flaws when the username_as_alias parameter is enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"openbao","vendor":"openbao"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-156","name":"Improper Neutralization of Whitespace"}],"description":"OpenBao exists to provide a software solution to manage, store, and distribute sensitive data including secrets, certificates, and keys. In versions 2.3.1 and below, OpenBao allowed the assignment of policies and MFA attribution based upon entity aliases, chosen by the underlying auth method. When the username_as_alias=true parameter in the LDAP auth method was in use, the caller-supplied username was used verbatim without normalization, allowing an attacker to bypass alias-specific MFA requirements. This issue was fixed in version 2.3.2. To work around this, remove all usage of the username_as_alias=true parameter and update any entity aliases accordingly.","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 LDAP MFA Enforcement Bypass When Using Username As Alias","id":"CVE-2025-55001","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2025"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"OpenBao Login MFA Bypasses Rate Limiting and TOTP Token Reuse","id":"CVE-2025-55003"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["0.0.0-20250807212521-c52795c1ef74","2.3.2"],"introduced":["0","0.0.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"openbao","purl":"pkg:bitnami/openbao","source":"BIT-openbao-2025-55001"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.0.0-20250807212521-c52795c1ef74"],"introduced":["0","0.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/openbao/openbao","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/openbao/openbao","source":"GO-2025-3859"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.0.0-20250807212521-c52795c1ef74"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/openbao/openbao","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2q8q-8fgw-9p6p"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.0.0-20250807212521-c52795c1ef74"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/openbao/openbao","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/openbao/openbao","source":"GHSA-2q8q-8fgw-9p6p"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["2.3.2"],"introduced":["0.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/openbao/openbao","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-2q8q-8fgw-9p6p"},{"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-2q8q-8fgw-9p6p"}],"prev":{"headline":"OpenBao TOTP Secrets Engine Enables Code Reuse","id":"CVE-2025-55000"},"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 bypass MFA requirements in OpenBao by exploiting username normalization flaws when the username_as_alias parameter is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-55001/"}
