Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Minio is a Multi-Cloud Object Storage framework. All users on Windows prior to version
RELEASE.2023-03-20T20-16-18Z are impacted. MinIO fails to filter the `\` character, which allows for
arbitrary object placement across buckets. As a result, a user with low privileges, such as an access key,
service account, or STS credential, which only has permission to `PutObject` in a specific bucket, can
create an admin user. This issue is patched in RELEASE.2023-03-20T20-16-18Z. There are no known
workarounds. (CVE-2023-28433)
