Summary

Duplicate Advisory: SurrealDB: Indexed ORDER BY leaks the value ordering of a SELECT-restricted field

Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-h4h3-3rfj-x6fq. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

SurrealDB before 3.1.5 fail to apply field-level SELECT permissions to ORDER BY clauses, allowing authenticated users to leak the relative ordering of restricted field values. Attackers can issue ORDER BY queries on indexed restricted fields to recover the hidden values' sort order across records, even though the field itself returns null as intended.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
