Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionGitHub Advisory
RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. Prior to 1.0.0-beta.2, the RustFS console endpoint GET /rustfs/console/license returns parsed license metadata without requiring authentication. The endpoint is registered on the console listener and returns JSON containing license information such as the license subject and expiration timestamp. Any client that can reach the console listener can query this endpoint without credentials. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.0-beta.2.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated information disclosure in RustFS exposes parsed license metadata - including license subject and expiration timestamp - via the console endpoint GET /rustfs/console/license to any network client that can reach the console listener, with no credentials required. All RustFS releases prior to 1.0.0-beta.2 are affected. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 4.0 confidentiality impact is rated Low given the non-sensitive nature of the disclosed data.
Technical ContextAI
RustFS is a distributed object storage system implemented in Rust, analogous in purpose to MinIO or S3-compatible backends. The vulnerability arises from a missing authentication enforcement on a REST endpoint registered to the console listener, a pattern described by CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to Unauthorized Actor). The endpoint /rustfs/console/license performs license metadata parsing and serializes the result as JSON, but no authentication middleware gates the route. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:rustfs:rustfs:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions of the rustfs application up to (but not including) the fixed release 1.0.0-beta.2. The console listener is likely a distinct port or interface from the primary data plane, which is a relevant architectural boundary for network-level compensating controls.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 1.0.0-beta.2, confirmed by the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-xp32-gxq2-3v52 (https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/security/advisories/GHSA-xp32-gxq2-3v52). Upgrade RustFS to 1.0.0-beta.2 or later as the primary remediation. If an immediate upgrade is operationally infeasible, apply a network-level compensating control by restricting access to the RustFS console listener port using host-based firewall rules (e.g., iptables, nftables, cloud security groups) to permit only trusted administrative IP ranges; this eliminates network reachability for untrusted clients without modifying the application, but does not fix the underlying authentication gap and should be treated as temporary. Note that this compensating control does not protect against exploitation from within the permitted network segment, so insider threat exposure remains.
