Prior to version 2.4.4, a privileged operator could use the identity group subsystem to add a root policy to a group identity group, escalating their or another user's permissions in the system. Specifically this is an issue when: an operator in the root namespace has access to identity/groups endpoints and an operator does not have policy access. Otherwise, an operator with policy access could create or modify an existing policy to grant root-equivalent permissions through the sudo capability. This issue has been patched in version 2.4.4.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2025-11-25T00:01:17.986+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-02-26T16:07:37.676+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"openbao","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"openbao\",\n                    \"product\": \"openbao\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"< 2.4.4\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/openbao/openbao/security/advisories/GHSA-7ff4-jw48-3436","https://github.com/openbao/openbao/pull/2143","https://github.com/openbao/openbao/commit/16bb0ccd37a502930a289d434cbe4e7b4edd66e5"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-64761","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2025-64761","identifiers":["CVE-2025-64761"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
