Critical · 9.8 Public exploit CVE-2025-68926 EUVD-2025-205801GHSA-h956-rh7x-ppgj

RustFS has a gRPC Hardcoded Token Authentication Bypass

Published Dec 30, 2025 · Updated Jan 5, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. In versions prior to 1.0.0-alpha.78, RustFS implements gRPC authentication using a hardcoded static token `"rustfs rpc"` that is publicly exposed in the source code repository, hardcoded on both client and server sides, non-configurable with no mechanism for token rotation, and universally valid across all RustFS deployments. Any attacker with network access to the gRPC port can authenticate using this publicly known token and execute privileged operations including data destruction, policy manipulation, and cluster configuration changes. Version 1.0.0-alpha.78 contains a fix for the issue.
