CVE-2026-34204	Mar 31, 2026	MinIO Authenticated Metadata Injection via X-Minio-Replication-* Headers MinIO is a high-performance object storage system. Prior to version RELEASE.2026-03-26T21-24-40Z, a flaw in extractMetadataFromMime() allows any authenticated user with s3:PutObject permission to inject internal server-side encryption metadata into objects by sending crafted X-Minio-Replication-* headers on a normal PutObject request. This issue has been patched in version RELEASE.2026-03-26T21-24-40Z.	Minio
CVE-2026-33419	Mar 24, 2026	MinIO STS LDAP Brute-Force via Unrestricted Auth Attempts MinIO is a high-performance object storage system. Prior to RELEASE.2026-03-17T21-25-16Z, MinIO AIStor's STS (Security Token Service) AssumeRoleWithLDAPIdentity endpoint is vulnerable to LDAP credential brute-forcing due to two combined weaknesses: (1) distinguishable error responses that enable username enumeration, and (2) absence of rate limiting on authentication attempts. An unauthenticated network attacker can enumerate valid LDAP usernames and then perform unlimited password guessing to obtain temporary AWS-style STS credentials, gaining access to the victim's S3 buckets and objects. This issue has been patched in RELEASE.2026-03-17T21-25-16Z.	Minio
CVE-2026-33322	Mar 24, 2026	MinIO OIDC JWT algorithm confusion enabling token forgery MinIO is a high-performance object storage system. From RELEASE.2022-11-08T05-27-07Z to before RELEASE.2026-03-17T21-25-16Z, a JWT algorithm confusion vulnerability in MinIO's OpenID Connect authentication allows an attacker who knows the OIDC ClientSecret to forge arbitrary identity tokens and obtain S3 credentials with any policy, including consoleAdmin. This issue has been patched in RELEASE.2026-03-17T21-25-16Z.	Minio
CVE-2025-62506	Oct 16, 2025	MinIO IAM Policy Validation Bypass Priv Escalation MinIO is a high-performance object storage system. In all versions prior to RELEASE.2025-10-15T17-29-55Z, a privilege escalation vulnerability allows service accounts and STS (Security Token Service) accounts with restricted session policies to bypass their inline policy restrictions when performing operations on their own account, specifically when creating new service accounts for the same user. The vulnerability exists in the IAM policy validation logic where the code incorrectly relied on the DenyOnly argument when validating session policies for restricted accounts. When a session policy is present, the system should validate that the action is allowed by the session policy, not just that it is not denied. An attacker with valid credentials for a restricted service or STS account can create a new service account for itself without policy restrictions, resulting in a new service account with full parent privileges instead of being restricted by the inline policy. This allows the attacker to access buckets and objects beyond their intended restrictions and modify, delete, or create objects outside their authorized scope. The vulnerability is fixed in version RELEASE.2025-10-15T17-29-55Z.	Minio
CVE-2025-59952	Sep 29, 2025	MinIO Java SDK XML Variable Expansion Vulnerability (prior 8.6.0) MinIO Java SDK is a Simple Storage Service (aka S3) client to perform bucket and object operations to any Amazon S3 compatible object storage service. In minio-java versions prior to 8.6.0, XML tag values containing references to system properties or environment variables were automatically substituted with their actual values during processing. This unintended behavior could lead to the exposure of sensitive information, including credentials, file paths, or system configuration details, if such references were present in XML content from untrusted sources. This is fixed in version 8.6.0.	Minio
CVE-2025-32963	Apr 22, 2025	MinIO Operator STS Replay Risk Pre-7.1.0 via Unscoped Audiences MinIO Operator STS is a native IAM Authentication for Kubernetes. Prior to version 7.1.0, if no audiences are provided for the `spec.audiences` field, the default will be of the Kubernetes apiserver. Without scoping, it can be replayed to other internal systems, which may unintentionally trust it. This issue has been patched in version 7.1.0.
CVE-2025-31489	Apr 03, 2025	MinIO auth signature bypass allows WRITE; fixed in 2025-04-03 MinIO is a High Performance Object Storage released under GNU Affero General Public License v3.0. The signature component of the authorization may be invalid, which would mean that as a client you can use any arbitrary secret to upload objects given the user already has prior WRITE permissions on the bucket. Prior knowledge of access-key, and bucket name this user might have access to - and an access-key with a WRITE permissions is necessary. However with relevant information in place, uploading random objects to buckets is trivial and easy via curl. This issue is fixed in RELEASE.2025-04-03T14-56-28Z.	Minio
CVE-2025-27414	Feb 28, 2025	MinIO Auth Bypass via SFTP SSH Key Trust Bug (v<1.2.0) MinIO is a high performance object storage. Starting in RELEASE.2024-06-06T09-36-42Z and prior to RELEASE.2025-02-28T09-55-16Z, a bug in evaluating the trust of the SSH key used in an SFTP connection to MinIO allows authentication bypass and unauthorized data access. On a MinIO server with SFTP access configured and using LDAP as an external identity provider, MinIO supports SSH key based authentication for SFTP connections when the user has the `sshPublicKey` attribute set in their LDAP server. The server trusts the client's key only when the public key is the same as the `sshPublicKey` attribute. Due to the bug, when the user has no `sshPublicKey` property in LDAP, the server ends up trusting the key allowing the client to perform any FTP operations allowed by the MinIO access policies associated with the LDAP user (or any of their groups). Three requirements must be met in order to exploit the vulnerability. First, the MinIO server must be configured to allow SFTP access and use LDAP as an external identity provider. Second, the attacker must have knowledge of an LDAP username that does not have the `sshPublicKey` property set. Third, such an LDAP username or one of their groups must also have some MinIO access policy configured. When this bug is successfully exploited, the attacker can perform any FTP operations (i.e. reading, writing, deleting and listing objects) allowed by the access policy associated with the LDAP user account (and their groups). Version 1.2.0 fixes the issue.	Minio
CVE-2024-55949	Dec 16, 2024	MinIO IAM Import API Privilege Escalation Vulnerability MinIO is a high-performance, S3 compatible object store, open sourced under GNU AGPLv3 license. Minio is subject to a privilege escalation in IAM import API, all users are impacted since MinIO commit `580d9db85e04f1b63cc2909af50f0ed08afa965f`. This issue has been addressed in commit `f246c9053f9603e610d98439799bdd2a6b293427` which is included in RELEASE.2024-12-13T22-19-12Z. There are no workarounds possible, all users are advised to upgrade immediately.	Minio
CVE-2024-36107	May 28, 2024	MinIO Metadata Exfil via Anonymous If-Modified-Since, fixed 2024.05.27 MinIO is a High Performance Object Storage released under GNU Affero General Public License v3.0. `If-Modified-Since` and `If-Unmodified-Since` headers when used with anonymous requests by sending a random object name requests can be used to determine if an object exists or not on the server on a specific bucket and also gain access to some amount of information such as `Last-Modified (of the latest version)`, `Etag (of the latest version)`, `x-amz-version-id (of the latest version)`, `Expires (metadata value of the latest version)`, `Cache-Control (metadata value of the latest version)`. This conditional check was being honored before validating if the anonymous access is indeed allowed on the metadata of an object. This issue has been addressed in commit `e0fe7cc3917`. Users must upgrade to RELEASE.2024-05-27T19-17-46Z for the fix. There are no known workarounds for this issue.	Minio
