Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2024-24747. PoCs published by Jenson Zhao, Immer5ion.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit demonstrates a privilege escalation vulnerability in MinIO versions prior to RELEASE.2024-01-31T20-20-33Z. It creates a new service account with limited permissions, then escalates its privileges to gain access to additional buckets.

Description

MinIO is a High Performance Object Storage. When someone creates an access key, it inherits the permissions of the parent key. Not only for `s3:*` actions, but also `admin:*` actions. Which means unless somewhere above in the access-key hierarchy, the `admin` rights are denied, access keys will be able to simply override their own `s3` permissions to something more permissive. The vulnerability is fixed in RELEASE.2024-01-31T20-20-33Z.
