Summary
HashiCorp Vault Incorrectly Validated JSON Web Tokens (JWT) Audience Claims
Details

Vault and Vault Enterprise did not properly validate the JSON Web Token (JWT) role-bound audience claim when using the Vault JWT auth method. This may have resulted in Vault validating a JWT the audience and role-bound claims do not match, allowing an invalid login to succeed when it should have been rejected.

This vulnerability, CVE-2024-5798, was fixed in Vault and Vault Enterprise 1.17.0, 1.16.3, and 1.15.9

Severity
2.6 (Low)
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N
