An authenticated user could bypass permission rules that gated access on parts of a record's id — most commonly tenant-isolation rules of the form `PERMISSIONS FOR select WHERE id.tenant = $auth.id.tenant`. The same defect also let UNIQUE constraints defined on parts of an id admit duplicate entries. When a query referenced part of a composite record id (`id.tenant`, `id.uid`, …), SurrealDB read the value from the record's editable body fields instead of from the immutable id key. Because the b

An authenticated record or scope user could read records on any table reachable through a graph edge or `REFERENCES TO` back-reference, regardless of that table's `PERMISSIONS FOR select` clause. Traversing `SELECT * FROM source->edge->target` returned full documents from `target` even when `target` was defined as `PERMISSIONS FOR select NONE`. The same bypass extended through multi-hop chains, so any table reachable by a sequence of edges from a readable starting point was exposed. The root c

Multiple weaponized proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits on GitHub were found delivering a Python-based remote access trojan (RAT) named ChocoPoC that can execute commands and steal sensitive data in a campaign believed to target cybersecurity researchers. [...]

A vulnerability was discovered where the user-supplied `WHERE` clause in a `SELECT` statement is evaluated against the full record data before `PERMISSIONS FOR SELECT WHERE` determines whether the principal is authorised to access that record. A side-effecting expression in the `WHERE` clause can exfiltrate record contents before the permission check runs. The same ordering bug affects the `SET`, `MERGE`, `CONTENT` and `PATCH` clauses of update-variant statements (`UPDATE`, `UPSERT-update`, `INS

The SurrealDB type/kind parser did not enforce the configured recursion depth limit when parsing nested type annotations. The expression parser already enforced the limit for analogous constructs; the kind parser omitted it. An authenticated attacker could send a query with deeply nested type annotations (e.g., `array<option<array<option<...>>>>`) and exhaust server memory, crashing the process. This is an incomplete fix for [GHSA-6r8p-hpg7-825g](https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/security/

A single unauthenticated WebSocket message to `/rpc` crashed the SurrealDB server. Sending `use { db: "x" }` without first selecting a namespace hit `.expect("namespace should be set")` in the `use` handler; because `surrealdb-core` is built with `panic = 'abort'`, the panic terminated the process. `use` is callable before `signin`, and the per-method capability check passes by default for guest callers — so no credentials, token, or `--allow-guests` flag are required. ### Impact An unauthenti

The SurrealDB value and JSON parser did not enforce the configured recursion depth limit when parsing nested `{`, `[`, or `(` tokens. The expression parser already enforced the limit for these tokens; the value/JSON parser omitted it. An unauthenticated attacker could send a deeply nested JSON payload to the WebSocket `/rpc` endpoint and exhaust server memory, crashing the process.

The HTTP `/rpc` endpoint has a time-of-check/time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition on internal session state. When authenticated and unauthenticated requests are processed concurrently, the unauthenticated request can inherit the authenticated user's session and privileges. The `/rpc` endpoint is the primary interface used by all official SurrealDB SDKs. The HTTP `/rpc` handler does not bind each incoming request to an isolated session context. Instead, concurrent requests share mutable authentic

The HTTP `/rpc` `sessions` method returned every attached session UUID without authentication, and the `/rpc` handler accepted an arbitrary `session` field with no ownership check. An anonymous caller could enumerate UUIDs and impersonate any authenticated session. "Attached" means sessions registered via `{"method":"attach"}` — the only writer to the HTTP session map. Ordinary stateless `/rpc` requests use ephemeral per-request sessions that are filtered from `sessions()` and destroyed at end-
