Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Duplicate Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-vjjx-rfw4-rmfc. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description SurrealDB versions before 3.1.0 fail to enforce table SELECT permissions when traversing graph edges or back-references. Authenticated users can read records from any table reachable through graph edges regardless of the target table's PERMISSIONS FOR select clause.
