Description

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?

MinIO AIStor's STS (Security Token Service) AssumeRoleWithLDAPIdentity endpoint is vulnerable to LDAP credential brute-forcing due to two combined weaknesses: (1) distinguishable error responses that enable username enumeration, and (2) absence of rate limiting on authentication attempts. An unauthenticated network attacker can enumerate valid LDAP usernames and then perform unlimited password guessing to obtain temporary AWS-style STS credentials, gaining access to the victim's S3 buckets and objects.

All deployments with LDAP configured running an affected version are impacted.

There are two vulnerabilities:

  1. User Enumeration via Distinguishable Error Messages (CWE-204)
  2. Missing Rate Limiting on STS Authentication Endpoints (CWE-307)

When exploited together, an attacker can:

  1. Enumerate valid LDAP usernames by observing error message differences.
  2. Perform high-speed password brute-force attacks against confirmed valid users.
  3. Upon finding valid credentials, obtain temporary AWS-style STS credentials (AccessKeyId, SecretAccessKey, SessionToken) with full access to the victim user's S3 resources.

Affected Versions

All MinIO releases through the final release of the minio/minio open-source project.

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible:

  • Network-level rate limiting: Use a reverse proxy (e.g., nginx, HAProxy) or WAF to rate-limit requests to the /?Action=AssumeRoleWithLDAPIdentity endpoint.
  • Firewall restrictions: Restrict access to the STS endpoint to trusted networks/IP ranges only.
  • LDAP account lockout: Configure account lockout policies on the LDAP server itself (e.g., Active Directory lockout threshold). Note: this protects against brute-force but not enumeration, and may cause denial-of-service for legitimate users.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Remediation status

    The records we use list no patched version of github.com/minio/minio for CVE-2026-33419. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    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.
