New CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-863 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade surrealdb to version 3.1.5 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the resolve_record_batch process. An attacker can access field values that should be hidden by field-level permissions by performing graph-edge, back-reference, or target-vertex traversals, thereby bypassing intended access controls and exposing confidential data.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by forcing the unaffected legacy executor with the --planner-strategy compute-only option (or setting the SURREAL_PLANNER_STRATEGY environment variable), restricting access at the table level instead of relying solely on field-level permissions, or using namespace/database isolation as the primary boundary.
