{"id":"BIT-minio-2023-27589","summary":"Minio vulnerable to denial of access by an admin privileged user for root credential","details":"Minio is a Multi-Cloud Object Storage framework. Starting with RELEASE.2020-12-23T02-24-12Z and prior to RELEASE.2023-03-13T19-46-17Z, a user with `consoleAdmin` permissions can potentially create a user that matches the root credential `accessKey`. Once this user is created successfully, the root credential ceases to work appropriately. The issue is patched in RELEASE.2023-03-13T19-46-17Z. There are ways to work around this via adding higher privileges to the disabled root user via `mc admin policy set`.","aliases":["CVE-2023-27589","GHSA-9wfv-wmf7-6753"],"modified":"2026-09-08T08:47:42.538051600Z","published":"2024-03-06T10:56:49.290Z","database_specific":{"severity":"Medium","cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:minio:minio:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"]},"references":[{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/minio/minio/pull/16803"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/minio/minio/security/advisories/GHSA-9wfv-wmf7-6753"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-27589"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"minio","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/minio"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"2020.12.23"},{"fixed":"2023.03.13"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/minio/BIT-minio-2023-27589.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H"}]}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
