Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2024-24747 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. MinIO is a High Performance Object Storage. When someone creates an access key, it inherits the permissions of the parent key. EPSS estimates a 34.09% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

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 `admin:*` actions. Which 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. The vulnerability is fixed in RELEASE.2024-01-31T20-20-33Z.
