Local privilege escalation via truncated grantee hash
Published Jun 4, 2026 · Updated Jun 4, 2026
Weak hashing in Milvus 2.6.0 through 2.6.13 allows local users to inherit another role's privileges through a grantee-ID collision. The RBAC catalog truncates an MD5 digest to 16 hexadecimal characters, then uses that 64-bit value as the key for a privilege subtree. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access, authorization enabled, and a crafted collision; a victim role then resolves donor permissions.
