How to fix?

A fix was pushed into the master branch but not yet published.

Overview

github.com/minio/minio/cmd is an open source object storage server compatible with Amazon S3 APIs.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management due to the inheritance of permissions during the creation of an access key. An attacker can escalate privileges and override s3 permissions to gain more permissive access by creating a new access key that inherits admin:* actions from the parent key.

Workaround

Explicitly deny admin actions on access keys.
