CVE-2026-121418 Details
Description
SurrealDB from 3.1.0 before 3.3.0 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows record users to infer restricted field values because the streaming planner uses indexes on fields with restrictive SELECT permissions. Attackers can issue full-text MATCHES, compound B-tree, or HNSW KNN queries against restricted fields to learn which records contain guessed values or nearest vectors.
An incorrect authorization vulnerability has been identified in SurrealDB versions 3.1.0 prior to 3.3.0. This vulnerability allows record users to infer restricted field values because the streaming planner improperly handles indexes on fields with limited SELECT permissions. As a result, attackers can use full-text MATCHES, compound B-tree, or HNSW KNN queries on restricted fields to determine which records contain specific values or nearest vectors.
Users should update to SurrealDB version 3.3.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
