Impact
A missing authorization check in Mooncake Store allows attackers to call the EvictDiskReplica and BatchEvictDiskReplica RPCs without credentials, removing disk replicas of any stored object across all tenants. If the only remaining replica of an object is on disk, the object can be permanently deleted, causing data loss and impacting availability. The vulnerability is based on CWE-862 (Missing Authorization).
Affected Systems
Installations of Mooncake Store version 0.3.13.post1 or earlier from the kvcache-ai vendor are susceptible. All tenants hosted on these instances can be affected.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.8 classifies the flaw as high severity. No EPSS data is available and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV list, implying that widespread exploitation has not been reported yet, but the lack of authorization still offers an immediate data integrity risk. Attackers must reach the coro_rpc master port, a network vector that can be restricted by firewall rules.
