GHSA-PFCQ-4GJR-6GJM
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-22 19:24 – Updated: 2026-04-27 16:22Missing Admin Auth on Notification Target Endpoints in RustFS
Finding Summary
All four notification target admin API endpoints in rustfs/src/admin/handlers/event.rs use a check_permissions helper that validates authentication only (access key + session token), without performing any admin-action authorization via validate_admin_request. Every other admin handler in the codebase correctly calls validate_admin_request with a specific AdminAction. This is the only admin handler file that skips authorization.
A non-admin user can overwrite a shared admin-defined notification target by name, causing subsequent bucket events to be delivered to an attacker-controlled endpoint. This enables cross-user event interception and audit evasion.
What Was Proven Live
- Authorization bypass on all four endpoints (03_readonly_user_bypass.py)
- PUT, GET list, GET arns, DELETE all return 200 for readonly-user
- Control routes (list-users, kms/status) correctly return 403
-
Unauthenticated requests correctly rejected (403 Signature required)
-
SSRF via health probe (04_ssrf_listener_landing.py)
- HEAD request from rustfs container to attacker-controlled listener
-
No host validation: only scheme check (http/https)
-
Target hijacking and event exfiltration (05_target_hijacking.py, 06_full_event_exfil.py)
- Readonly-user overwrites admin-configured target URL by name
- Subsequent S3 events delivered to attacker-controlled endpoint
-
Captured event body includes object keys, bucket names, user identities, and request metadata
-
Audit evasion (05_target_hijacking.py)
- Readonly-user can delete unbound targets
- Readonly-user can overwrite bound targets (silently redirecting events)
Escalation Vectors Tested But Not Viable
- Self-referencing webhook to admin API (13_self_referencing_test.py)
- Webhook sends unsigned POST with event JSON body
- Admin endpoints require SigV4 auth -- unsigned request rejected
-
"Confused deputy" via self-referencing does NOT work
-
Protocol smuggling via non-HTTP targets
- Only 2 target types implemented: webhook and MQTT (
event.rs:613enforces this) - No Redis, Kafka, AMQP, or other protocol targets exist
- CRLF injection in webhook config fields sanitized by reqwest
-
MQTT uses rumqttc (pure Rust binary protocol client), no raw TCP injection
-
MQTT target for RCE
- No unsafe code in MQTT handler
- rumqttc 0.29.0 has no known public CVEs
-
No Command::new, template engines, or deserialization of broker responses
-
Unauth access
- Endpoints correctly reject unauthenticated requests (403)
- Endpoints correctly reject invalid credentials (403)
Prior Art
No existing advisory covers notification target endpoints. 11 published GHSAs on rustfs/rustfs cover different handlers. Closest: - CVE-2026-22042 (ImportIam wrong action constant) -- same bug class, different file - CVE-2026-22043 (deny_only short-circuit) -- different bug class
Recommendation
Submit via GitHub PVR. The finding is well-supported with live PoC, code references, and clear root cause. The fix is straightforward (add validate_admin_request calls to event.rs handlers). Core submission should reference 2-3 focused PoC scripts (readonly bypass, target hijack, event exfil), not the full set of 13 exploratory scripts.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
