- Vault’s Terraform Provider incorrectly set the default denynullbind parameter for the LDAP auth method to false by default, potentially resulting in an insecure configuration. If the underlying LDAP server allowed anonymous or unauthenticated binds, this could result in authentication bypass. This vulnerability, CVE-2025-13357, is fixed in Vault Terraform Provider v5.5.0.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 5.5.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
