Upgrade github.com/hashicorp/vault/builtin/logical/ssh to version 1.17.6 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource due to not requiring the valid_principals list to contain a value by default. An attacker could authenticate as any user on the host by using an SSH certificate requested by an authorized user to Vault’s SSH secrets engine.
Note:
This can be exploited if the valid_principals and default_user fields of the SSH secrets engine configuration are not set.
