Description
OpenBao TOTP Secrets Engine Code Reuse
Impact
OpenBao's TOTP secrets engine could accept valid codes multiple times rather than strictly-once. This was caused by unexpected normalization in the underlying TOTP library.
Patches
OpenBao v2.3.2 will patch this issue.
In patching, codes which were not normalized (strictly N numeric digits) will now be rejected. This is a potentially breaking change.
Workarounds
TOTP code verification is a privileged action; only trusted systems should be verifying codes. Ensure that all codes are first normalized before submitting to the OpenBao endpoint.
