Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-24762?

CVE-2026-24762 affects the following packages: rustfs (crates.io). Ecosystems affected: crates.io.

How do I fix CVE-2026-24762?

Update rustfs to 1.0.0-alpha.82 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-24762 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-24762 in my crates.io dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for rustfs, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-24762 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-24762?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-24762 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2026-24762 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-24762 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-24762?

CVE-2026-24762 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 17th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-24762?

CVE-2026-24762 is classified as CWE-532 (CWE-532). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-24762 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-24762 was published on February 3, 2026 and was last updated on February 22, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Summary

RustFS logs sensitive credential material (access key, secret key, session token) to application logs at INFO level. This results in credentials being recorded in plaintext in log output, which may be accessible to internal or external log consumers and could lead to compromise of sensitive credentials. This vulnerability is classified as an information disclosure issue (CWE-532).

Details

The server writes newly generated STS credential information including the access key, secret key, and session token to logs. The following excerpts from application logs demonstrate this:

[2026-01-17 09:13:23.127767 +11:00] INFO [rustfs::admin::handlers::sts] [rustfs/src/admin/handlers/sts.rs:138] [rustfs-worker:ThreadId(4)] AssumeRole get new_cred Credentials { access_key: "5UGH6TM44IPA81AH1WZE", secret_key: "3BQ-KnO_iB5ovmd5SU4wIK6sFfaPTliftvQ_iNLS", session_token: "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE3Njg2NDQ4MDMsInBhcmVudCI6InJ1c3Rmc2FkbWluIn0.F9ZhARXyU0cB6QoFMElKK5tns_RFQM9WlpMiGVuuDOpOfNrbEKE_9IK1oaJ_yqDsBlK115uYOcQcGohjgUPhOQ", expiration: Some(2026-01-17 10:13:23.0 +00:00:00), status: "on", parent_user: "rustfsadmin", groups: None, claims: None, name: None, description: None }

By inspecting logs, an attacker or unauthorized internal user with access to logs could retrieve these credentials and use them to authenticate to RustFS services or perform other unauthorized actions.

Impact

Information Exposure: Plaintext authentication credentials appear in log files that may be retained, backed up, or forwarded to centralized logging systems.
Credential Compromise: Access keys, secret keys, and session tokens may be used by unauthorized individuals to authenticate to RustFS services or hijack sessions.
Insider Threat: Even users with limited access who can read logs may gain elevated access if they retrieve credential material.
Compliance Risk: Logging sensitive authentication material may violate organizational policies and industry compliance standards (e.g., PCI-DSS, SOC2, ISO 27001) that forbid exposure of authentication secrets in logs

Remediation

Do not include secrets in log output — redact secret_key, session_token, and similar fields.
Log only safe identifiers such as non-sensitive IDs (e.g., parent_user, trace ID).
