HashiCorp Boundary from 0.10.0 through 0.11.2 contain an issue where when using a PKI-based worker with a Key Management Service (KMS) defined in the configuration file, new credentials created after an automatic rotation may not have been encrypted via the intended KMS. This would result in the credentials being stored in plaintext on the Boundary PKI worker’s disk.

This issue is fixed in version 0.12.0.

Fixes

Solution

Upgrade to Boundary 0.12.0. After upgrading, users should do one of the following to remediate the issue: * Wait for next worker authentication rotation to occur, typically within one week, at which point the new credentials should be properly encrypted. * Delete the worker from the system and re-authorize it, forcing the worker to generate a new set of credentials immediately, which will be encrypted.


Workaround

No workaround given by the vendor.
