CVE-2025-64513 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in the Milvus Proxy component of the Milvus open-source vector database. In vulnerable versions prior to 2.4.24, 2.5.21, and 2.6.5, an unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass all authentication mechanisms enforced by the Proxy and obtain full administrative access to the Milvus cluster. The issue is associated with request handling behavior involving the sourceID header, which can be abused to circumvent normal authentication checks before requests reach protected cluster functionality.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-64513, a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Milvus Proxy (versions 2.4.x < 2.4.24, 2.5.x < 2.5.21, 2.6.x < 2.6.5). The repository consists of two files: a Python exploit script (CVE-2025-64513.py) and a detailed README.md. The exploit script demonstrates how an unauthenticated attacker can gain full admin access to the Milvus Proxy API by sending requests with a special header (sourceID: @@milvus-member@@), allowing creation, verification, and deletion of collections without any authentication. The script performs version checking, creates a uniquely named test collection, verifies its existence, and cleans up by deleting it, generating a JSON report of the results. The README provides comprehensive usage instructions, impact analysis, detection guidance, and legal disclaimers. The exploit is a functional PoC, not weaponized, and is intended for responsible testing and vulnerability validation.
This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-64513, a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Milvus Proxy (versions 2.4.x < 2.4.24, 2.5.x < 2.5.21, 2.6.x < 2.6.5). The exploit leverages a special HTTP header (sourceID: @@milvus-member@@) to bypass authentication and gain full admin access to the Milvus API. The main script, CVE-2025-64513.py, performs the following steps: checks the target version, creates a new collection via the vulnerable API, verifies its creation, and then deletes it to clean up. The script outputs a detailed JSON report of the test, including proof of exploitation. The README.md provides comprehensive background, usage instructions, impact analysis, and remediation advice. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the script requires the user to supply the target Milvus Proxy URL. The attack vector is network-based, targeting the HTTP API endpoints of Milvus Proxy. The exploit is a functional PoC and does not include weaponized or post-exploitation payloads.
