Improper Privilege Management

CVE-2024-24747

High
8.8/10

Summary

MinIO is a High-Performance Object Storage. When someone creates an access key, it inherits the permissions of the parent key. Not only for `s3:*` actions but also for `admin:*` actions. This means unless somewhere above in the access-key hierarchy, the `admin` rights are denied, access keys will be able to simply override their own `s3` permissions to something more permissive. This issue affects github.com/minio/minio versions prior to RELEASE.2024-01-31T20-20-33Z.

CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management

An effective privilege management infrastructure provides valid users with required access and privileges across heterogeneous technology environments. An application with a faulty privilege management infrastructure allows higher than authorized privileges or enables privilege escalation. This can lead to security incidents such as system infiltration, data breach, and complete system takeover.
