RustFS is a distributed object storage system built in Rust. Prior to 1.0.0-beta.2, the internode RPC layer authenticates every request with an HMAC-SHA256 signature using a shared secret. The function that produces this secret, getsharedsecret() in crates/ecstore/src/rpc/httpauth.rs, falls back to the public, source-tree-embedded DEFAULTSECRETKEY = "rustfsadmin" when neither the RUSTFSRPC_SECRET environment variable nor the global S3 secret key has been configured. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.0-beta.2.
