Official Description

RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. Prior to 1.0.0-beta.2, when RUSTFS_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS is unset, the RustFS S3 listener's ConditionalCorsLayer reflects any request Origin value back as Access-Control-Allow-Origin and also sets Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true and Access-Control-Allow-Headers: * on responses, including preflight responses and error responses. This creates a permissive cross-domain policy with untrusted origins. A browser visiting an attacker-controlled page can issue credentialed cross-origin requests to a reachable RustFS deployment and read the response when the victim browser has ambient credentials for the RustFS origin, such as saved HTTP Basic Auth credentials, reverse-proxy SSO cookies, or TLS client certificates. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.0-beta.2.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-46685 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (P) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
