How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/hashicorp/vault/vault to version 1.7.2, 1.6.5, 1.5.9 or higher.

Overview

github.com/hashicorp/vault/vault is a tool for securely accessing secrets.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication. 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.
