CVE-2023-27589

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Minio versions RELEASE.2020-12-23T02-24-12Z through RELEASE.2023-03-13T19-46-17Z

Description The issue is related to a user with consoleAdmin permissions potentially creating a user that matches the root credential accessKey. Once this user is created successfully, the root credential ceases to work appropriately. Exploitation of this issue may allow a remote attacker to disable access to the root credentials.

Recommendations For versions RELEASE.2020-12-23T02-24-12Z through RELEASE.2023-03-13T19-46-17Z, update to RELEASE.2023-03-13T19-46-17Z or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider adding higher privileges to the disabled root user via mc admin policy set.
