Stats & Charts

Within the Vault system, a critical security concern is an attacker attempting to gain access to secret material they are not authorized to. This is an internal threat if the attacker is already permitted some level of access to Vault and is able to authenticate.

When a client first authenticates with Vault, an auth method is used to verify the identity of the client and to return a list of associated ACL policies. This association is configured by operators of Vault ahead of time. For example, GitHub users in the "engineering" team may be mapped to the "engineering" and "ops" Vault policies. Vault then generates a client token which is a randomly generated, serialized value and maps it to the policy list. This client token is then returned to the client.

On each request a client provides this token. Vault then uses it to check that the token is valid and has not been revoked or expired, and generates an ACL based on the associated policies. Vault uses a strict default deny or whitelist enforcement. This means unless an associated policy allows for a given action, it will be denied. Each policy specifies a level of access granted to a path in Vault. When the policies are merged (if multiple policies are associated with a client), the highest access level permitted is used. For example, if the "engineering" policy permits read/update access to the "eng/" path, and the "ops" policy permits read access to the "ops/" path, then the user gets the union of those. Policy is matched using the most specific defined policy, which may be an exact match or the longest-prefix match glob pattern.
