Latest Surrealdb vulnerabilities
- 8.1 High severity
surrealdb: Improper Privilege Management
SurrealDB from 3.1.0 before 3.3.0 contains an improper authentication vulnerability where the MCP BoundSubject fingerprint uses the access method name instead of per-user identity for JWT/Bearer access. Attackers with a valid low-privilege token for the same a
- 7.8 High severity
surrealdb: Use After Free
SurrealDB before 3.3.0 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in surrealdb-core KV backends that pass borrowed transaction state into affinitypool::spawn_local closures relying on future Drop for safety. Rust embedders that leak a dispatched future (e.g. via
- 7.1 High severity
surrealdb: Improper Access Control
SurrealDB 2.0.0 before 3.3.1 does not enforce --deny-funcs restrictions on method-style function calls in the streaming engine, because MethodPart::evaluate invokes resolved functions without a capability check. Authenticated users who can submit queries can r
- 8.1 High severity
surrealdb: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
SurrealDB before 3.3.0 allows cross-tenant access because the SurrealQL USE statement switches a session to any namespace/database without checking that the caller's authenticated level covers it. Authenticated namespace, database, or record users can switch t
- 7.1 High severity
surrealdb: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
SurrealDB before 3.3.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows callers with table-level write permission to read SELECT-restricted fields by resolving JSON Patch pointers against the unreduced record. Attackers can use PATCH copy or move ope
- 8.1 High severity
surrealdb: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
SurrealDB before 3.3.0 does not check the caller-selected namespace or database against the level at which a namespace- or database-level system user authenticated, allowing cross-tenant access. An authenticated attacker can set the Surreal-NS/Surreal-DB heade
- 8.1 High severity
surrealdb: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
SurrealDB before 3.3.0 contains an authorization bypass in HTTP session construction where check_auth() verifies credentials against Surreal-Auth-NS and Surreal-Auth-DB headers but constructs sessions using Surreal-NS and Surreal-DB headers without validating
- 8.8 High severity
surrealdb: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
SurrealDB before 2.5.0 and before 3.0.0-beta.3 contains a confused deputy privilege escalation vulnerability. Unprivileged users (e.g., those with the database editor role) can create or modify fields containing futures, functions, or closures. Because these a
- 7.5 High severity
surrealdb: Uncontrolled Recursion
SurrealDB before 3.1.0 fails to enforce the configured recursion depth limit in the value and JSON parser when processing nested braces, brackets, or parentheses. Unauthenticated attackers can send deeply nested JSON payloads to the WebSocket /rpc endpoint to
- 8.8 High severity
surrealdb: Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality
SurrealDB versions before 3.1.0 contain a session hijacking vulnerability where the HTTP /rpc sessions method returns attached session UUIDs without authentication and accepts arbitrary session fields with no ownership verification. Unauthenticated attackers c
- 8.1 High severity
surrealdb: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization
SurrealDB versions before 3.1.0 contain a time-of-check/time-of-use race condition in the HTTP /rpc endpoint that allows unauthenticated requests to inherit authenticated session state. Unauthenticated attackers can send concurrent requests to the /rpc endpoin
- 7.5 High severity
surrealdb: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
SurrealDB versions before 3.1.0 fail to apply the SURREAL_WEBSOCKET_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE limit to anonymous /sql WebSocket connections, allowing attackers to buffer unbounded frames in the per-connection read buffer. Attackers can stream WebSocket frames larger th

surrealdb: Uncaught Exception
SurrealDB versions before 3.1.0 contain a denial of service vulnerability in the RPC use handler that panics when db is set without a namespace. Unauthenticated attackers can send a malformed WebSocket message to the /rpc endpoint to crash the server process.
- 7.7 High severity
surrealdb: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory
SurrealDB before 3.1.5 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the DEFINE ANALYZER mapper filter that allows database users with EDITOR or OWNER roles to read files accessible to the SurrealDB process. Attackers can specify arbitrary file paths in the
- 8.1 High severity
surrealdb: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
SurrealDB versions before 3.2.0 fail to validate namespace and database scope in custom API routes, allowing authenticated users to invoke endpoints in different namespaces/databases. Attackers with valid credentials for any namespace/database can access custo
- 7.6 High severity
surrealdb: Server-Side Request Forgery
SurrealDB before 2.2.2 fails to validate HTTP redirects in http functions, allowing authenticated users to bypass deny-net restrictions by redirecting to blocked IP addresses. Attackers can host a public server that redirects to denied network targets, enablin
- 8.0 High severity
surrealdb: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command
SurrealDB before 2.0.5, 2.1.x before 2.1.5, and 2.2.x before 2.2.2 fails to properly escape table and field names in the command-line export command. An authenticated System User with OWNER or EDITOR roles can create tables or fields with malicious names conta

surrealdb: Incorrect Authorization
SurrealDB before 2.2.6, 2.3.6, and 2.1.8 (and 3.0.0-alpha.7 and earlier) fails to validate DNS-resolved hostnames against --deny-net network access restrictions in its http::* functions. An authenticated user can invoke http::<fn>(<url>) with a hostname that r

surrealdb: Uncaught Exception
SurrealDB versions before 1.1.0 fail to properly parse the ID, DB, and NS headers in HTTP REST API requests containing special characters. Unauthenticated attackers can send crafted HTTP requests with malformed header values to trigger an uncaught exception th

surrealdb: Use of Externally-Controlled Format String
SurrealDB before 1.1.1 contains a format string vulnerability in the rquickjs Exception::throw_type function when scripting is enabled. Attackers with scripting privileges can supply format string sequences in error inputs to read arbitrary memory or execute c
- 8.8 High severity
surrealdb: Failure to Sanitize Special Elements into a Different Plane
SurrealDB before 1.5.5 (and 2.0.0-beta before 2.0.0-beta.3) accepts an arbitrary object in the signin and signup operations of the RPC API without recursively validating it for non-computed values. When a record access method defines a SIGNIN or SIGNUP query a

surrealdb: Incorrect Default Permissions
SurrealDB before 1.0.1 sets default table permissions to FULL instead of NONE, allowing SELECT, CREATE, UPDATE, and DELETE operations on tables without explicit permissions. Attackers with database access or unauthenticated users on publicly exposed instances
