- →Monitor HTTP requests targeting the /rustfs/rpc/read_file_stream endpoint for path traversal sequences (e.g., ../, %2e%2e%2f, encoded variants) in request parameters. ↗
- →Flag RustFS instances running versions 1.0.0-alpha.13 through 1.0.0-alpha.78 as vulnerable; patch to 1.0.0-alpha.79 or later. ↗
- ·A public exploit exists for this vulnerability (CVSS 8.8, HIGH), increasing urgency of detection and patching. ↗

RustFS Path Traversal Vulnerability

CVE-2025-68705 [HIGH] CWE-22 RustFS Path Traversal Vulnerability
RustFS Path Traversal Vulnerability
# RustFS Path Traversal Vulnerability
## Vulnerability Details
- **CVE ID**:
- **Severity**: Critical (CVSS estimated 9.9)
- **Impact**: Arbitrary File Read/Write
- **Component**: `/rustfs/rpc/read_file_stream` endpoint
- **Root Cause**: Insufficient path validation in `crates/ecstore/src/disk/local.rs:1791`
### Vulnerable Code
```rust
// local.rs:1791 - No path sanitization!
let file_path = volume_dir.join(Path::new(&path)); // DANGEROUS!
check_path_length(file_path.to_string_lossy().to_string().as_str())?; // Only checks length
let mut f = self.open_file(file_path, O_RDONLY, volume_dir).await?;
```
The code uses `PathBuf::join()` without:
- Canonicalization
- Path boundary validation
- Protection against `../` sequences
- Protection against absol
