Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
During certain error conditions, OpenBao Agent's exec rendering mode will incorrectly write secrets specified in `env_template` to stdout. This primarily happens when `num_retries` is met.
This vulnerability is original to Vault and was reported via the OpenBao security mailing list.
### Patches
This is addressed in OpenBao v2.6.0 GA.
