HIGHPre-NVD 8.68.6
EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 8.6 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 81% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. In 1.0.0-beta.4, authenticated users with only PutObject permission on their own bucket can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the Snowball auto-extract feature to write arbitrary objects into other users' buckets, completely breaking multi-tenant isolation. The vulnerability chains three flaws: No ../ sanitization in tar entry key normalization; IAM wildcard matching uses raw (uncleaned) paths; and Filesystem path cleaning resolves ../ across bucket boundaries.
