lakeFS is Missing Timestamp Validation in S3 Gateway Authentication
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/treeverse/lakefs | < 1.75.0 | 1.75.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
LakeFS's S3 gateway does not validate timestamps in authenticated requests, allowing replay attacks. An attacker who captures a valid signed request (e.g., through network interception, logs, or compromised systems) can replay that request until credentials are rotated, even after the request is intended to expire.
### Patches
This issue affects all versions of lakeFS up to and including v1.74.4.
The vulnerability has been fixed in version v1.75.0.
Users should upgrade to version v1.75.0.
### Workarounds
Until upgraded, implement these mitigations:
- **Use short-lived credentials** - Rotate access keys frequently and **deactivate old keys**. For regular requests, captured requests only work until rotation. For presigned URLs, they remain valid until the credentials used to create them are deactivated.
- **Network controls** - Restrict S3 gateway access to trusted networks/IPs to limit where replay attacks can originate.
Note: These workarounds reduce risk but do not fully eliminate the vulnerability.
