# CVE-2025-62513: OpenBao leaks HTTPRawBody in Audit Logs > OpenBao fails to redact raw HTTP bodies in audit logs, potentially leaking ACME challenge codes and OIDC tokens to anyone with log access. - **Severity:** Medium 5.7 (`CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:P/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** An administrator - **Attackable:** Over the internet - **Victim action needed:** A user has to click or open something - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 22 Oct 2025 - **Updated:** 22 Oct 2025 - **Also known as:** BIT-openbao-2025-62513, GHSA-ghfh-fmx4-26h8, GO-2025-4049 ## What is CVE-2025-62513? CVE-2025-62513 is a medium-severity vulnerability in openbao, published on 22 Oct 2025. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link. ### Official description OpenBao is an open source identity-based secrets management system. In versions 2.2.0 to 2.4.1, OpenBao's audit log experienced a regression wherein raw HTTP bodies used by few endpoints were not correctly redacted (HMAC'd). This impacts those using the ACME functionality of PKI, resulting in short-lived ACME verification challenge codes being leaked in the audit logs. Additionally, this impacts those using the OIDC issuer functionality of the identity subsystem, auth and token response codes along with claims could be leaked in the audit logs. ACME verification codes are not usable after verification or challenge expiry so are of limited long-term use. This issue has been patched in OpenBao 2.4.2.

Affected packages and fixed versions: - github.com/openbao/openbao (Go): affected from 0.0.0-20241114205727-b1235e585db7; fixed in 0.0.0-20251022165510-cc2c476bac66 - github.com/openbao/openbao (Go): affected from 0.0.0-20241114205727-b1235e585db7; fixed in 0.0.0-20251022165510-cc2c476bac66 - github.com/openbao/openbao (Go): affected from 0.0.0-20241114205727-b1235e585db7; fixed in 0.0.0-20251022165510-cc2c476bac66 - openbao (Bitnami): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.4.2 Task: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
