Amounts are the top reward per severity in the currency each program pays. First response is the platform's measured average when it publishes one, else what the policy promises.

What is in scope

12 targets. 6 excluded.

  • https://milvus.io

    Web

  • Index build and vector search execution, including the Knowhere engine and the parsing of vectors, index files and search parameters supplied by a caller

    Products and areas

  • milvus-lite, the embedded build that runs inside a client process rather than as a server

    Products and areas

  • Multi-tenancy through databases, collections and partition keys, wherever isolation is claimed

    Products and areas

  • No declared scope exists. The project publishes no SECURITY.md and no policy prose, and the whole of its stated position is that private vulnerability reporting is switched on for milvus-io/milvus. Treat any security defect in the Milvus tree as a fair report

    Products and areas

  • Object storage handling for segment data, including the paths and credentials Milvus builds for MinIO or S3

    Products and areas

  • Role-based access control: users, roles, privilege grants and the checks meant to keep one tenant's collection out of another tenant's queries

    Products and areas

  • The coordinator and node set: root, query, data and index coordinators, the query, data and index nodes, and the RPC between them

    Products and areas

  • The metadata store and message queue integrations as Milvus configures and consumes them, covering etcd, Pulsar and Kafka

    Products and areas

  • The metrics, health and management ports, including port 9091, and everything reachable on them without a credential

    Products and areas

  • The Proxy, which every client request passes through, including its authentication and the routing behind it

    Products and areas

  • The RESTful and gRPC APIs in full, covering collection, partition, index, search and administrative operations

    Products and areas

No target matches. Try part of a host name, such as the company name.

Out of scope 6

Don't test these. A program can exclude a host another program covers; the program you report to decides.

  • A deployment whose operator chose never to enable authentication, where the finding is the configuration rather than a defect in Milvus

  • Findings against a long-superseded release with no path to the current one

  • Resource exhaustion from expensive queries against a large index, which is a capacity question

  • Retrieval quality, embedding accuracy and model behaviour, which are not security defects

  • Vulnerabilities in etcd, Pulsar, Kafka or MinIO themselves, unless Milvus's own use of them is what makes the issue reachable

  • Zilliz Cloud and other commercial hosted products, which are outside the open-source repository

  • CVE-2026-10814 Low

    A vulnerability has been found in milvus-io milvus up to 2.6.13. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file internal/metastore/kv/rootcoord/kv_catalog.go of the component Grantee ID Hash Handler. The manipulation leads to use of weak hash. The attack needs to be performed locally. The attack's complexity is rated as high. It is stated that the exploitability is difficult. The exploit has

  • CVE-2026-26190 Critical

    Milvus is an open-source vector database built for generative AI applications. Prior to 2.5.27 and 2.6.10, Milvus exposes TCP port 9091 by default, which enables authentication bypasses. The /expr debug endpoint uses a weak, predictable default authentication token derived from etcd.rootPath (default: by-dev), enabling arbitrary expression evaluation. The full REST API (/api/v1/*) is registered on
