Description

### Summary OpenBao users with access to the `sys/leases/revoke/:lease_id` endpoint in any namespace can revoke leases in any other namespace as long as the lease identifier is known to them, bypassing ACLs that should apply for cross-namespace revocations. ### Impact OpenBao's namespaces provide multi-tenant separation. A tenant who intentionally leaks lease identifiers can have their lease and underlying credential revoked by a user in another tenant. ### Patch This will be fixed in OpenBao v2.5.5. ### References This vulnerability is similar to but distinct from: - CVE-2026-45808 / GHSA-v8v8-cm84-m686 - CVE-2026-40264 / GHSA-p49j-v9wc-wg57
