OpenBao Skips Stricter Deny Policy for LIST operations
Quick fix
GHSA-xp3c-3jw3-4vcr — github.com/openbao/openbao: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
go get github.com/openbao/openbao@v0.0.0-20260713133043-f58d848c139eDetails
## Impact
When a policy operator has written `capabilities = ["deny"]` on a path with a trailing wildcard but allowed a broader list operation (e.g., a `deny` on `secrets/metadata/restricted/*` but allowed `list` on `secrets/metadata/*`), OpenBao would incorrectly allow the operation. This did not impact other operation types.
## Patches
This has been patched in OpenBao v2.6.0.
