Doc Text:
A flaw was found in HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise, where they could allow a locally authenticated attacker to gain unauthorized access to the system, caused by a flaw in the alias naming schema implementation for mount accessors with shared alias names in the Identity Engine. By conducting a specially-crafted operation, an attacker can overwrite metadata to the wrong alias, gaining unauthorized access to key/value paths using the metadata in Vault.

Description Avinash Hanwate 2023-03-24 03:38:24 UTC 
An issue was discovered in HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise before 1.11.3. A vulnerability in the Identity Engine was found where, in a deployment where an entity has multiple mount accessors with shared alias names, Vault may overwrite metadata to the wrong alias due to an issue with checking the proper alias assigned to an entity. This may allow for unintended access to key/value paths using that metadata in Vault.
