CVE-2026-46685
RustFS: Reflective CORS with credentials on S3 listener; unauthenticated license metadata endpoint on console
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.
