Description
OpenBao before 2.6.5 and 2.7.2 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated callers to obtain OIDC ID tokens by abusing public clients with client_credentials enabled. Attackers who know a public client's client_id can request tokens from the identity/oidc/provider/<name>/token endpoint to impersonate the client without any secret.
