Doc Text:
A flaw was found in OpenBao. An attacker holding an expired AppRole Secret ID can authenticate to the system and gain unauthorized access beyond the credential's intended time-to-live (TTL). This issue occurs because the AppRole authentication method does not verify Secret ID expiration at the time of use or login, leaving expired credentials valid until the periodic cleanup process removes them.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-22 19:29:03 UTC 
OpenBao before 2.6.4 and 2.7.x before 2.7.1 does not check Secret ID expiration at use in the AppRole auth method, leaving expired Secret IDs valid until the periodic tidy removes them. An attacker holding an expired, untidied Secret ID can log in and gain access beyond its TTL.
