The STS tokens use the same unauthenticated AES-128-CBC encryption as CephX, which lacks message authentication and uses a hardcoded initialization vector. Because there is no integrity protection on the tokens, an attacker who holds any valid unprivileged STS token can perform a CBC bit-flip attack to modify the token contents and escalate to full RGW admin privileges. This requires only that STS is enabled (rgw_s3_auth_use_sts = true) and that the attacker has a single valid STS token. Successful exploitation grants complete control over the RGW service, including reading, writing, and deleting all objects and buckets."], "mitigation": {"lang": "en:us", "value": "Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability."}, "name": "CVE-2026-39944", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:ceph_storage:4", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "ceph", "product_name": "Red Hat Ceph Storage 4"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:ceph_storage:5", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "ceph", "product_name": "Red Hat Ceph Storage 5"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:ceph_storage:6", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "ceph", "product_name": "Red Hat Ceph Storage 6"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:ceph_storage:7", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "ceph", "product_name": "Red Hat Ceph Storage 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:ceph_storage:7", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "rhceph/rhceph-7-rhel9", "product_name": "Red Hat Ceph Storage 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:ceph_storage:8", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "ceph", "product_name": "Red Hat Ceph Storage 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:ceph_storage:8", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "rhceph/rhceph-8-rhel9", "product_name": "Red Hat Ceph Storage 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:ceph_storage:9", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "ceph", "product_name": "Red Hat Ceph Storage 9"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:ceph_storage:9", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "rhceph/rhceph-9-rhel9", "product_name": "Red Hat Ceph Storage 9"}], "public_date": "2026-08-19T17:57:46Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-39944\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-39944"], "statement": "The Red Hat Product Security team has assessed the severity of this vulnerability as Important, given that it can be exploited over the network by any holder of a valid STS token without user interaction.
