CVE-2026-34204

MinIO is Vulnerable to SSE Metadata Injection via Replication Headers

7.1 High

MinIO is a high-performance object storage system. Prior to version RELEASE.2026-03-26T21-24-40Z, a flaw in extractMetadataFromMime() allows any authenticated user with s3:PutObject permission to inject internal server-side encryption metadata into objects by sending crafted X-Minio-Replication-* headers on a normal PutObject request. This issue has been patched in version RELEASE.2026-03-26T21-24-40Z.

MinIO is Vulnerable to SSE Metadata Injection via Replication Headers

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?

A flaw in extractMetadataFromMime() allows any authenticated user with s3:PutObject permission to inject internal server-side encryption metadata into objects by sending crafted X-Minio-Replication-* headers on a normal PutObject request. The server unconditionally maps these headers to X-Minio-Internal-* encryption metadata without verifying that the request is a legitimate replication request. Objects written this way carry bogus encryption keys and become permanently unreadable through the S3 API.

Any authenticated user or service with s3:PutObject permission on any bucket can make objects permanently unreadable by injecting fake SSE encryption metadata. The attacker sends a standard PutObject request with X-Minio-Replication-Server-Side-Encryption-* headers but without the X-Minio-Source-Replication-Request header that marks legitimate replication traffic. The server maps these headers to internal encryption metadata (X-Minio-Internal-Server-Side-Encryption-Sealed-Key, etc.), causing all subsequent GetObject and HeadObject calls to treat the object as encrypted with keys that do not exist.

This is a targeted denial-of-service vulnerability. An attacker can selectively corrupt individual objects or entire buckets. The ReplicateObjectAction IAM permission is never checked because the request is a normal PutObject, not a replication request.

Affected component: cmd/handler-utils.go, function extractMetadataFromMime().

Affected Versions

All MinIO releases through the final release of the minio/minio open-source project.

The vulnerability was introduced in commit 468a9fae83e965ecefa1c1fdc2fc57b84ece95b0 ("Enable replication of SSE-C objects", PR #19107, 2024-03-28). The first affected release is RELEASE.2024-03-30T09-41-56Z.
