RustFS's RPC signature verification logs shared secret

Published: 1/16/2026Modified: 2/3/2026

Description

### Summary Invalid RPC signatures cause the server to log the shared HMAC secret (and expected signature), which exposes the secret to log readers and enables forged RPC calls. ### Details In [`crates/ecstore/src/rpc/http_auth.rs:115-122`](https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/blob/9e162b6e9ebb874cc1d06a7b33bc4a05786578aa/crates/ecstore/src/rpc/http_auth.rs#L115-L122) , the invalid signature branch logs sensitive data: ```rs if signature != expected_signature { error!( "verify_rpc_signature: Invalid signature: secret {}, url {}, method {}, timestamp {}, signature {}, expected_signature {}", secret, url, method, timestamp, signature, expected_signature ); return Err(std::io::Error::other("Invalid signature")); } ``` This log line includes `secret` and `expected_signature`, both derived from the shared HMAC key. Any invalidly signed request triggers this path. The function is reachable from RPC and admin request handlers. ### PoC 1. Run RustFS with error logging enabled. 1. Send a request with an invalid signature: ``` ts=$(date +%s) curl -v \ -H "x-rustfs-timestamp: $ts" \ -H "x-rustfs-signature: invalid-signature" \ "http://localhost:9000/rustfs/rpc/read_file_stream?disk=foo&volume=bar&path=baz&offset=0&length=1" ``` 1. Observed output: ``` HTTP 403 AccessDenied: Invalid signature verify_rpc_signature: Invalid signature: secret rustfsadmin, url /rustfs/rpc/read_file_stream?disk=foo&volume=bar&path=baz&offset=0&length=1, method GET, timestamp 1767852115, signature invalid-signature, expected_signature oisNxNRTb80GXf97s/PGdScJzu8QB9Oxs+uOwf8RiK8= ``` ### Impact - Exposes the shared RPC HMAC secret to log readers. - Enables attackers with log access to forge valid RPC signatures and make unauthorized RPC calls.
