rucio — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 9

Rucio is a data management system designed for large-scale scientific data handling, primarily used in high-energy physics and research environments. Historically, it has been susceptible to multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities, cross-site scripting flaws, and privilege escalation issues, accounting for its nine recorded CVEs. The platform's distributed architecture and complex permission models have introduced security challenges, particularly around authentication and authorization. While no major public security incidents have been widely documented, the consistent discovery of critical vulnerabilities in its web interface and API components highlights ongoing security concerns for organizations relying on this infrastructure for sensitive data operations.
