Loading vulnerability…
RustFS (distributed object storage system in Rust) versions 1.0.0-alpha.13 through 1.0.0-alpha.78 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the /rustfs/rpc/read_file_stream RPC endpoint due to insufficient path validation. An attacker can supply crafted path input (e.g., traversal sequences) to access files outside the intended storage/volume directory. The issue is fixed in 1.0.0-alpha.79.

2 valid exploits after Mallory filtered fakes, detection scripts, and README-only repos.
This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2025-68705, a path traversal vulnerability in RustFS. The main file, 'poc.py', is a Python script that connects to a RustFS server over TCP using gRPC (HTTP/2) and crafts requests to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. The script allows the user to specify the target host, port, file path, read offset, length, and an optional secret key for authentication. The exploit demonstrates the ability to read sensitive files such as /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/hosts, as shown in the README and usage examples. The repository also includes a requirements.txt file listing Python dependencies (h2, requests, msgpack). The exploit is a standalone script and does not rely on any exploitation framework. Its primary purpose is to demonstrate the vulnerability and allow security researchers or administrators to test if their RustFS deployment is affected.
