It allows Salt states and execution modules to authenticate with and retrieve secrets from Vault, enabling secure credential injection into infrastructure provisioning and configuration workflows.\n\nThe extension depends on salt and cryptography, and targets modern Python versions (3.10 through 3.14). It is actively maintained with recent releases and welcomes community contributions. The project is in Beta status and has no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use Salt for infrastructure management and need Vault or OpenBao integration. The extension is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and has no known vulnerabilities. It is suitable for production use in Beta status, though you should verify feature completeness for your specific Vault version and use case."},"id":"saltext-vault","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/saltext-vault","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/saltext-vault.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/saltext-vault/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"saltext.vault","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Salt Extension for interacting with Vault (or OpenBao)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":109233,"position":12525,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.8.0"}
