Hashicorp · Vault Enterprise · CVE-2021-42135
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise versions 1.8.x through 1.8.4
**Description**
The issue is related to an unexpected interaction between glob-related policies and the Google Cloud secrets engine. This may result in users having more privileges than intended. For example, a user with read permission for the `/gcp/roleset/*` path may be able to issue Google Cloud service account credentials.
**Recommendations**
For HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise versions 1.8.x through 1.8.4, consider restricting access to the Google Cloud secrets engine until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, review and adjust glob-related policies to minimize the risk of unintended privilege assignments.
