Summary
Milvus versions prior to 2.4.24, 2.5.21, and 2.6.5 contain a flaw that lets an unauthenticated attacker bypass all authentication in the Milvus Proxy component. A successful attacker gains full administrative access to the Milvus cluster, with the ability to read, modify, or delete data and perform privileged operations such as database or collection management.
Mitigation
Fixed in Milvus 2.4.24, 2.5.21, and 2.6.5. If immediate upgrade is not possible, remove the sourceID header from all incoming requests at the gateway, API gateway, or load balancer level before they reach the Milvus Proxy.
