SeaweedFS: Unauthenticated filer IAM gRPC service grants S3 administrative control

Published

SeaweedFS is a distributed storage system. Prior to 4.24, the filer registers the SeaweedIdentityAccessManagement gRPC service without mandatory authentication when jwt.filer_signing.key is unset, allowing any client that can reach the filer gRPC port to invoke CreateUser, CreateAccessKey, PutPolicy, and related IAM RPCs to mint credentials and gain S3 administrative control. This issue is fixed in versions 4.24.

### Impact The filer registered the IAM gRPC service (`SeaweedIdentityAccessManagement`) with no authentication. Any client able to reach the filer gRPC port could invoke IAM RPCs — `CreateUser`, `CreateAccessKey`, `PutUserPolicy`, and related calls — to mint credentials and grant itself S3 administrative privileges. This fully compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of stored objects. No credentials are required, and enabling the documented JWT signing keys does not close it: the IAM gRPC service was not gated by that mechanism. Even under mTLS, the listener-level `allowed_commonNames` ACL applies to the port rather than to individual RPCs, so any cluster mesh certificate could reach these administrative calls. ### Affected component - `weed/server/filer_server_handlers_iam_grpc.go` - `weed/command/filer.go` ### Patches Fixed in **4.24**. Every IAM RPC now requires a Bearer token signed with the filer admin signing key (`jwt.filer_signing.key`), and the service refuses to register when no signing key is configured — removing the unauthenticated default entirely. ### Workarounds Restrict the filer gRPC port to trusted hosts. Configure `jwt.filer_signing.key` in `security.toml` and upgrade to 4.24; operators that use the IAM RPCs must attach an admin-signed Bearer token on each call. ### References - Fixed by seaweedfs/seaweedfs#9442 (follow-ups: #9498, #9508, #9514, #9536) - Reported by Kadir Arslan (https://github.com/KadirArslan)
