New CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-863 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade surrealdb to version 3.1.0 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the Index::Count process. An attacker can infer the values of restricted fields by issuing repeated count queries with different guesses, thereby confirming or recovering the contents of fields protected by field-level permissions when those fields are indexed.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding the creation of indexes on fields protected by field-level SELECT permissions, restricting the ability of users to issue arbitrary count queries against such tables, or using namespace/database isolation as the primary boundary.
