In MinIO versions prior to the fix for CVE-2022-35919, any 'admin' user authorized for the admin:ServerUpdate action can exploit the ServerUpdate API to trigger an error that causes the server to return the contents of an arbitrary file path. The vulnerability arises because the error response includes the content of the requested path, allowing an attacker with the necessary privileges to read any file accessible to the MinIO process on the underlying OS.

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.
What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.
admin:ServerUpdate permission can read arbitrary files on the server, potentially exposing sensitive information such as configuration files, credentials, or other data accessible to the MinIO process. This could lead to further compromise of the system or lateral movement within the environment.If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.
admin:ServerUpdate action for all admin users via IAM policies. Restrict admin privileges to only those users who absolutely require them and audit existing permissions to minimize exposure.Patch, then assume compromise.
