vault-java-driver, a Java client for HashiCorp Vault, parses Vault's JSON responses with a vendored minimal-json parser that has no nesting depth limit. A deeply nested value raises a StackOverflowError, which escapes catch (Exception) handlers and kills the reading thread. A Vault token that can write but not read a KV v2 path can store such a value there, so every later read of that path through the driver fails. This requires Vault 1.19.x or earlier, because 1.20 and later reject values nested deeper than 298 levels. This issue affects io.github.jopenlibs:vault-java-driver 5.2.0 through 6.2.3 and is fixed in 7.0.0.
HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise prior to 2.0.1 are vulnerable to code execution on the client host through a path traversal attack. This vulnerability (CVE-2026-7474) is fixed in Nomad 2.0.1, 1.11.5 and 1.10.11.
HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise are vulnerable to a sandbox escape in the Docker task driver that may allow a job submitter to bind-mount a host path into a container even when volume bind mounts are disabled, potentially leading to reading and writing files on the host. This vulnerability, CVE-2026-14891, is fixed in Nomad Community Edition 2.0.4 and Nomad Enterprise 2.0.4, 1.11.8, and 1.10.14.
HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise versions 1.5.0 up to 1.5.2 allow unauthenticated users to bypass intended ACL authorizations for clusters where mTLS is not enabled. This issue is fixed in version 1.5.3.
HashiCorp Nomad 0.9.0 through 0.9.1 has Incorrect Access Control via the exec driver.
A flaw was found in go-getter. This flaw allows an attacker to misuse go-getter to execute commands on the host. This action may be possible when symlink processing and path traversal are allowed.
HashiCorp go-getter Vulnerable to Argument Injection When Fetching Remote Default Git Branches
HashiCorp’s go-getter library can be coerced into executing Git update on an existing maliciously modified Git Configuration, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.
HashiCorp's go-getter library subdirectory download feature is vulnerable to symlink attacks leading to unauthorized read access beyond the designated directory boundaries. This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-8959, is fixed in go-getter 1.7.9.
A flaw was found in the HashiCorp go-getter package. Affected versions of the HashiCorp go-getter package are vulnerable to a denial of service via a malicious compressed archive.
A flaw was found in go-getter. Several vulnerabilities were identified in the way go-getter processes HTTP responses, response headers, and password-protected ZIP files. This flaw allows an attacker to bypass certain configuration settings and may lead to a denial of service.

HashiCorp Consul and Consul Enterprise 1.17.0 up to 2.0.4 are vulnerable to an authorization bypass in the agent's service mesh leaf certificate API that may allow an attacker without a valid ACL token to retrieve a cached service leaf certificate and its private key. This vulnerability (CVE-2026-105765) is fixed in Consul Community Edition 2.1.0 and Consul Enterprise 2.1.0 and 1.21.19.
"Vault and Vault Enterprise 1.8.0 through 1.8.8, and 1.9.3 allowed the PKI secrets engine under certain configurations to issue wildcard certificates to authorized users for a specified domain, even if the PKI role policy attribute allowsubdomains is set to false. Fixed in Vault Enterprise 1.8.9 and 1.9.4.
HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise 0.3.0 through 1.0.17, 1.1.11, and 1.2.5 artifact download functionality has a race condition such that the Nomad client agent could download the wrong artifact into the wrong destination. Fixed in 1.0.18, 1.1.12, and 1.2.6
Vault Enterprise clusters using the tokenization transform feature can expose the tokenization key through the tokenization key configuration endpoint to authorized operators with read permissions on this endpoint. Fixed in Vault Enterprise 1.9.4, 1.8.9 and 1.7.10.
HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise 0.9.0 through 1.0.16, 1.1.11, and 1.2.5 allow operators with job-submit capabilities to use the spread stanza to panic server agents. Fixed in 1.0.18, 1.1.12, and 1.2.6.
HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise 1.0.17, 1.1.11, and 1.2.5 allow invalid HCL for the jobs parse endpoint, which may cause excessive CPU usage. Fixed in 1.0.18, 1.1.12, and 1.2.6.
HashiCorp Consul and Consul Enterprise 1.9.0 through 1.9.14, 1.10.7, and 1.11.2 clusters with at least one Ingress Gateway allow a user with service:write to register a specifically-defined service that can cause Consul servers to panic. Fixed in 1.9.15, 1.10.8, and 1.11.3.
HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise 0.9.2 through 1.0.17, 1.1.11, and 1.2.5 allow operators with read-fs and alloc-exec (or job-submit) capabilities to read arbitrary files on the host filesystem as root.
HashiCorp Consul and Consul Enterprise up to 1.11.8, 1.12.4, and 1.13.1 do not check for multiple SAN URI values in a CSR on the internal RPC endpoint, enabling leverage of privileged access to bypass service mesh intentions. Fixed in 1.11.9, 1.12.5, and 1.13.2."
A flaw was found in HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise. Vault’s TLS certificate auth method did not initially load the optionally-configured CRL issued by the role’s Certificate Authority (CA) into memory on startup, resulting in the revocation list not being checked if the CRL has not yet been retrieved.
HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise version 0.2.0 up to 1.3.0 were impacted by go-getter vulnerabilities enabling privilege escalation through the artifact stanza in submitted jobs onto the client agent host. Fixed in 1.1.14, 1.2.8, and 1.3.1.
A vulnerability was found in the HashiCorp Consul Template. This issue may reveal the contents of a Vault secret when used with an invalid template.
HashiCorp Consul and Consul Enterprise 1.13.0 up to 1.13.3 do not filter cluster filtering's imported nodes and services for HTTP or RPC endpoints used by the UI. Fixed in 1.14.0.
An authenticated user with access to a kvv2 path through a policy containing a glob may be able to delete secrets they were not authorized to read or write, resulting in denial-of-service. This vulnerability did not allow a malicious user to delete secrets across namespaces, nor read any secret data. Fixed in Vault Community Edition 2.0.0 and Vault Enterprise 2.0.0, 1.21.5, 1.20.10, and 1.19.16.
Vault is vulnerable to a denial-of-service condition where an unauthenticated attacker can repeatedly initiate or cancel root token generation or rekey operations, occupying the single in-progress operation slot. This prevents legitimate operators from completing these workflows. This vulnerability, CVE-2026-5807, is fixed in Vault Community Edition 2.0.0 and Vault Enterprise 2.0.0.
HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise allowed the renewal of nearly-expired token leases and dynamic secret leases (specifically, those within 1 second of their maximum TTL), which caused them to be incorrectly treated as non-expiring during subsequent use. Fixed in 1.5.9, 1.6.5, and 1.7.2.
Vault Community and Vault Enterprise Key/Value (kv) Version 2 plugin may unintentionally expose sensitive information in server and audit logs when users submit malformed payloads during secret creation or update operations via the Vault REST API. This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-4166, is fixed in Vault Community 1.19.3 and Vault Enterprise 1.19.3, 1.18.9, 1.17.16, 1.16.20.
