CVE-2024-32001
SpiceDB: LookupSubjects may return partial results if a specific kind of relation is used
CVE-2024-32001 is a low vulnerability (CVSS 2.2) in Authzed Spicedb, published April 10, 2024. No source lists public exploit code. EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 0.58%, the 47th percentile. Fixed in github.com/authzed/spicedb 1.30.1.
SpiceDB is a graph database purpose-built for storing and evaluating access control data. Use of a relation of the form: relation folder: folder | folder#parent with an arrow such as folder->view can cause LookupSubjects to only return the subjects found under subjects for either folder or folder#parent. This bug only manifests if the same subject type is used multiple types in a relation, relationships exist for both subject types and an arrow is used over the relation. Any user making a negative authorization decision based on the results of a LookupSubjects request with version before v1.30.1 is affected. Version 1.30.1 contains a patch for the issue. As a workaround, avoid using LookupSubjects for negative authorization decisions and/or avoid using the broken schema.
