Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionGitHub Advisory
RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. Prior to 1.0.0-beta.2, the admin router explicitly whitelists /profile/cpu and /profile/memory from the authentication layer, allowing any unauthenticated HTTP client to invoke profiling handlers without credentials. On supported builds (e.g., glibc), the handler invokes a fixed 60-second CPU profiling operation (dump_cpu_pprof_for(Duration::from_secs(60))). This may result in significant CPU resource consumption per request and can potentially lead to denial of service when abused. Additionally, the handler returns the server’s absolute filesystem path in the response body, resulting in information disclosure. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.0-beta.2.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated denial of service and information disclosure in RustFS distributed object storage prior to version 1.0.0-beta.2 allows remote attackers to repeatedly invoke profiling endpoints that the admin router whitelists from authentication. Each request triggers a fixed 60-second CPU profiling operation and leaks the server's absolute filesystem path in the response. CVSS 4.0 scores this 8.8 (High) driven by high availability impact; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
RustFS is a Rust-based S3-compatible distributed object storage system positioned as a MinIO alternative. The vulnerability lives in the admin HTTP router, which explicitly bypasses its authentication middleware for the /profile/cpu and /profile/memory routes. The CPU profiler handler is hard-coded to call dump_cpu_pprof_for(Duration::from_secs(60)) on supported builds such as glibc, producing a pprof-format profile and embedding the server's absolute filesystem path in the response body. The root cause is mapped to CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function): security-sensitive diagnostic functionality is reachable without any credential check, and a long, fixed-duration server-side operation is exposed to anonymous callers.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to RustFS 1.0.0-beta.2 or later, which removes /profile/cpu and /profile/memory from the admin router's authentication whitelist; see https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/security/advisories/GHSA-8784-9m7f-c6p6 for the upstream advisory. Where immediate upgrade is not possible, block external access to the /profile/cpu and /profile/memory paths at a reverse proxy or WAF (trade-off: legitimate operator profiling must then be performed from inside the trusted network), or restrict the entire admin listener to a management VLAN or loopback bound to an SSH bastion (trade-off: out-of-band tooling that polls the admin port must be re-homed). Avoid simply rate-limiting the endpoints as a sole control because a single request still costs 60 seconds of CPU and continues to disclose the filesystem path.
