FKIE_CVE-2025-48371
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-05-22 23:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 09:29
Severity
Summary
OpenFGA is an authorization/permission engine. OpenFGA versions 1.8.0 through 1.8.12 (corresponding to Helm chart openfga-0.2.16 through openfga-0.2.30 and docker 1.8.0 through 1.8.12) are vulnerable to authorization bypass when certain Check and ListObject calls are executed. Users are affected under four specific conditions: First, calling Check API or ListObjects with an authorization model that has a relationship directly assignable by both type bound public access and userset; second, there are check or list object queries with contextual tuples for the relationship that can be directly assignable by both type bound public access and userset; third, those contextual tuples’s user field is an userset; and finally, type bound public access tuples are not assigned to the relationship. Users should upgrade to version 1.8.13 to receive a patch. The upgrade is backwards compatible.

Las versiones de OpenFGA 1.8.0 a 1.8.12 (correspondientes a los diagramas de Helm openfga-0.2.16 a openfga-0.2.30 y docker 1.8.0 a 1.8.12) son vulnerables a la omisi\u00f3n de la autorizaci\u00f3n al ejecutar ciertas llamadas a Check y ListObject. Los usuarios se ven afectados en cuatro circunstancias espec\u00edficas: primero, al llamar a la API Check o a ListObjects con un modelo de autorizaci\u00f3n que tenga una relaci\u00f3n directamente asignable tanto por el acceso p\u00fablico como por el conjunto de usuarios; segundo, si existen consultas de check o de objetos de lista con tuplas contextuales para la relaci\u00f3n que puedan ser directamente asignables tanto por el acceso p\u00fablico como por el conjunto de usuarios; tercero, si el campo de usuario de esas tuplas contextuales es un conjunto de usuarios; y, por \u00faltimo, si las tuplas de acceso p\u00fablico no est\u00e1n asignadas a la relaci\u00f3n. Los usuarios deben actualizar a la versi\u00f3n 1.8.13 para recibir un parche. La actualizaci\u00f3n es compatible con versiones anteriores."
