What changed

BSI-CERT published advisory WID-SEC-2026-1164 warning of multiple security vulnerabilities in Hashicorp Vault with CVSS Base Score 8.1.

Organizations running Hashicorp Vault Community Edition below 2.0.0 or Enterprise below 1.21.5/1.20.10/1.19.16 should apply available mitigation measures and update to secure versions promptly.
