Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been found in milvus-io milvus up to 2.6.13. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file internal/metastore/kv/rootcoord/kv_catalog.go of the component Grantee ID Hash Handler. The manipulation leads to use of weak hash. The attack needs to be performed locally. The attack's complexity is rated as high. It is stated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier of the patch is 3d932f1c3e065351c4440c27abe1e6479752544d. Applying a patch is the recommended action to fix this issue.
AnalysisAI
Weak hashing in milvus-io/milvus up to 2.6.13 exposes the Grantee ID Hash Handler in the KV metadata catalog (internal/metastore/kv/rootcoord/kv_catalog.go), allowing a low-privileged local attacker to predict or forge 16-character grantee IDs used in RBAC privilege assignments backed by etcd. Successful exploitation - rated high complexity - could result in unauthorized manipulation of access control metadata, yielding low-level confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the affected Milvus instance. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Local authenticated access with low privileges (PR:L, AV:L per CVSS) on a host running milvus-io/milvus 2.6.13 or earlier is required. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.5 reflects Medium severity driven by local-only attack vector (AV:L), high attack complexity (AC:H), low privilege requirement (PR:L), and uniformly low CIA impact (C:L/I:L/A:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A low-privileged local attacker with knowledge of Milvus's legacy 16-character grantee ID hashing scheme - informed by the publicly disclosed proof-of-concept at GitHub issue #49857 - enumerates existing grantee IDs from etcd, identifies collision candidates or predicts IDs for high-privilege roles, then manipulates the KV metadata store to associate their own account with an elevated grantee ID. The high attack complexity means the attacker must understand both the truncated hash algorithm and the etcd key structure, limiting this to technically proficient adversaries. … |
| Remediation | Apply the upstream fix via commit 3d932f1c3e065351c4440c27abe1e6479752544d, available in PR #50060 at https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/pull/50060. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
