Hashicorp Consul ACL Token

Description

General

  • Documentation: https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/api-docs/acl/tokens
  • Summary: HashiCorp Consul is a distributed service mesh that provides a way to connect, secure, and manage services across a cluster. Consul is typically self-hosted, meaning ACL tokens (Access Control List tokens) are managed within an organization's own infrastructure rather than a centralized SaaS provider. This detector identifies ACL tokens used to authenticate with Consul.

Revoke the secret

Because Consul is self-hosted, revocation procedures depend on the specific deployment. In general, the token can be revoked using the /acl/token/:AccessorID endpoint with the DELETE method. The AccessorID can be retrieved from endpoints such as GET /acl/token/self. The token must be included in request headers (for example, using the X-Consul-Token or Authorization header) when making authenticated requests.
