Upgrade surrealdb to version 3.1.0-beta.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization in the KILL process. An attacker can disrupt other users' real-time data subscriptions by issuing a KILL statement with the target live query's UUID, resulting in silent termination of live queries without notification. This can be performed by any authenticated user with database-level access, regardless of privilege level, if they obtain the UUID through application logs, shared dashboards, or other information disclosure vectors.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by treating live query UUIDs as sensitive values, avoiding their exposure in logs or shared interfaces, using separate databases per tenant for strict isolation, and monitoring for unexpected live query terminations with reconnection mechanisms.
