New CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-384  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade surrealdb to version 3.1.0-beta.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Session Fixation in the sessions process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to authenticated user sessions by supplying arbitrary session identifiers to the /rpc endpoint, allowing them to read, modify, or delete data accessible to those sessions, escalate privileges, and invalidate sessions. This is only exploitable if the target client has previously attached a session via the attach method over HTTP /rpc.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding SDKs and client flows that call attach against HTTP /rpc, preferring WebSocket transport or REST endpoints, and restricting /rpc access to trusted clients at the network layer.
