CVE-2026-46405: OpenBao's Kerberos Auth Method Accumulates Unaccessible Tokens

May 28, 2026

In OpenBao’s Kerberos auth method on the GET handler, or when an Authorization: Negotiate header is supplied, the response is includes a logical.Auth object in addition to an error message. This results in tokens being created with only the default policy, default TTL, and no entity information, which are hidden by the returned error message. No access to these tokens by the caller occurs and the authentication token is not ever made accessible outside of sys/raw. At most this could cause storage usage.
