Minio · Minio Aistor · CVE-2026-33322
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MinIO versions RELEASE.2022-11-08T05-27-07Z through RELEASE.2026-03-17T21-25-16Z
**Description**
MinIO has a JWT algorithm confusion issue in its OpenID Connect authentication. An attacker who knows the OIDC `ClientSecret` can forge identity tokens and obtain S3 credentials with any policy, including `consoleAdmin`. This allows an attacker to impersonate any user identity, access, modify, or delete data within the MinIO deployment. The attack is deterministic and has a 100% success rate. The attacker must have access to the OIDC `ClientSecret`, which may be found in environment variables, frontend OAuth configurations, mobile app bundles, CI/CD pipelines, or shared configuration files.
**Recommendations**
Upgrade to MinIO AIStor RELEASE.2026-03-17T21-25-16Z or later.
As a workaround, ensure the OIDC `ClientSecret` is treated as a highly sensitive credential and is not exposed to untrusted parties.
