CVE-2025-64513 Â (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade github.com/milvus-io/milvus/internal/proxy to version 2.4.24, 2.5.21, 2.6.0-rc1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authentication through the Milvus Proxy component, which skips the source ID check. An attacker can gain full administrative access to the cluster, allowing them to read, modify, or delete data and perform privileged operations by sending specially crafted requests that bypass authentication mechanisms.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by removing the sourceID header from all incoming requests at the gateway, API gateway, or load balancer level before they reach the affected component.
