Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in SurrealDB up to 1.5.4/2.0.0 and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown part of the component RPC API. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a user session vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-1018. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

SurrealDB before 1.5.5 (and 2.0.0-beta before 2.0.0-beta.3) accepts an arbitrary object in the signin and signup operations of the RPC API without recursively validating it for non-computed values. When a record access method defines a SIGNIN or SIGNUP query and the RPC API is exposed to untrusted users, an unauthenticated attacker can encode a binary object containing a subquery using the bincode serialization format and supply it in place of credentials. The subquery is then executed within the database owner's SIGNIN/SIGNUP query under a system user session with the editor role, allowing the attacker to select, create, update, and delete non-IAM resources (though not view the query results directly, and not affect IAM resources, which require the owner role).

It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-58362 since 07/18/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.

Upgrading to version 1.5.5 or 2.0.0-beta.3 eliminates this vulnerability.
