Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Vault Terraform Provider versions prior to 5.5.0

Description The Vault Terraform Provider was configured with an insecure default setting for the LDAP auth method. Specifically, the deny null bind parameter defaulted to false, which could allow authentication bypass if the LDAP server permitted anonymous or unauthenticated binds. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access.
