CVE-2026-55838 Details
Description
RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. In 1.0.0-beta.7 and earlier, the real-time metrics endpoint at /rustfs/admin/v3/metrics is accessible to any valid IAM user regardless of their assigned policy. Every other admin handler in the codebase calls validate_admin_request to enforce admin-action IAM checks; the MetricsHandler skips this call entirely. A restricted IAM user whose policy grants only access to their own bucket can read server-wide operational metrics including disk I/O statistics, network throughput, scanner cycle timing, and cluster RPC state.
A vulnerability exists in RustFS versions through 1.0.0-beta.7 that allows any valid IAM user to access the real-time metrics endpoint at /rustfs/admin/v3/metrics, regardless of their assigned policy. This endpoint bypasses the necessary admin-action IAM checks, which are enforced by other admin handlers. As a result, a restricted IAM user with access only to their own bucket can retrieve server-wide operational metrics, including disk I/O statistics, network throughput, scanner cycle timing, and cluster RPC state.
