Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.
Exploitation and automatability from CISA’s SSVC triage for CVE-2024-36107.
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
CVE-2024-36107 plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 378,567 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.

Description
Impact
If-Modified-Since If-Unmodified-Since
Headers when used with anonymous requests by sending a random object name requests you can figure out if the object exists or not on the server on a specific bucket and also gain access to some amount of information such as
Last-Modified (of the latest version)
Etag (of the latest version)
x-amz-version-id (of the latest version)
Expires (metadata value of the latest version)
Cache-Control (metadata value of the latest version)
This conditional check was being honored before validating if the anonymous access is indeed allowed on the metadata of an object.

fix: information disclosure bug in preconditions GET (#19810)
precondition check was being honored before, validating
if anonymous access is allowed on the metadata of an
object, leading to metadata disclosure of the following
headers.
```
Last-Modified
Etag
x-amz-version-id
Expires:
Cache-Control:
```
although the information presented is minimal in nature,
and of opaque nature. It still simply discloses that an
object by a specific name exists or not without even having
enough permissions.
Users must upgrade to RELEASE.2024-05-27T19-17-46Z for the fix
Workarounds
There are no workarounds.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/minio/minio, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/minio/minio to 0.0.0-20240527191746-e0fe7cc39172 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-36107 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2024-36107 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2024-36107. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2024-36107 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2024-36107 across Go dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
