CVE-2025-64529 Details
Description
SpiceDB is an open source database system for creating and managing security-critical application permissions. In versions prior to 1.45.2, users who use the exclusion operator somewhere in their authorization schema; have configured their SpiceDB server such that `--write-relationships-max-updates-per-call` is bigger than 6500; and issue calls to WriteRelationships with a large enough number of updates that cause the payload to be bigger than what their datastore allows; will receive a successful response from their `WriteRelationships` call, when in reality that call failed, and receive incorrect permission check results, if those relationships had to be read to resolve the relation involving the exclusion. Version 1.45.2 contains a patch for the issue. As a workaround, set `--write-relationships-max-updates-per-call` to `1000`.
A vulnerability exists in SpiceDB versions prior to 1.45.2, where users employing the exclusion operator in their authorization schema may encounter issues. If the server is configured with '--write-relationships-max-updates-per-call' set above 6500, and a WriteRelationships call is made with a payload large enough to exceed datastore limits, the server will incorrectly respond as if the call was successful. This miscommunication can lead to erroneous permission check results, particularly if the excluded relationships were needed for resolving related permissions.
Users can upgrade to SpiceDB version 1.45.2 or later to address this vulnerability. Alternatively, the '--write-relationships-max-updates-per-call' option can be set to 1000 as a temporary workaround.
