CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

RustFS versions prior to 1.0.0-rc.1 are vulnerable due to improper enforcement of Object Lock, which allows objects under COMPLIANCE retention to be deleted or expired when certain metadata conditions are not met. This vulnerability could lead to unintended data loss, impacting organizations that rely on RustFS for compliance and data integrity. Users of RustFS should prioritize upgrading to the fixed version to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. Prior to 1.0.0-rc.1, RustFS Object Lock enforcement in crates/ecstore/src/bucket/object_lock/objectlock_sys.rs lets check_object_lock_for_deletion, delete_prefix, and lifecycle and scanner sweeps treat ConfigNotFound, unreadable .metadata.bin data, or unparseable metadata as no lock configuration, allowing objects under COMPLIANCE retention to be deleted or expired. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.0-rc.1.
