What is CVE-2026-22782?

RustFS, a distributed object storage system built in Rust, contains a vulnerability where invalid RPC signatures cause the server to log sensitive information, specifically the shared HMAC secret and expected signature. This exposure enables malicious actors to forge RPC calls, leading to potential abuse of the storage system. The issue arises in the logging mechanism for invalid signatures in the RPC layer, which can be activated by any incorrectly signed request. This vulnerability was addressed in version 1.0.0-alpha.80, ensuring the secure handling of RPC signatures.
