Descriptions

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.

MinIO es un almacenamiento de objetos de alto rendimiento. Cuando alguien crea una clave de acceso, hereda los permisos de la clave principal. No solo para acciones `s3:*`, sino también para acciones `admin:*`. Lo que significa que, a menos que en algún lugar superior de la jerarquía de claves de acceso se denieguen los derechos de "administrador", las claves de acceso podrán simplemente anular sus propios permisos "s3" por algo más permisivo. La vulnerabilidad se solucionó en RELEASE.2024-01-31T20-20-33Z.

MinIO versions prior to 2024-01-31T20-20-33Z suffer from a privilege escalation vulnerability.
