New CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-674  (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 Uncontrolled Recursion in the parse_concrete_kind process. An attacker can cause the server to exhaust memory and crash by submitting queries with deeply nested type annotations through the WebSocket endpoint. This is only exploitable if the attacker is authenticated and has privileges to execute arbitrary queries via WebSocket /rpc.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by restricting untrusted users from executing arbitrary queries using the --deny-arbitrary-query capability flag or by disabling untrusted access to the WebSocket /rpc endpoint.
