Summary

SurrealDB: Authenticated callers can read fields hidden by field-level SELECT permissions via error messages

Details

A record user with UPDATE access could read field values that field-level SELECT permissions hid from them. Arithmetic operators and extend embedded the raw operand into their error messages, and UPDATE permission checks evaluate against the unreduced document — so triggering such an error against a hidden field returned its value in the resulting error.

Impact

A record user issues an UPDATE that performs an incompatible operation against a hidden field — e.g. UPDATE person:me SET probe = email + 1 when email is a string — and reads the value from the returned error (Tried to compute "alice@example.com" + 1 …). One field per operation, but the attacker can repeat against any field on any record they can UPDATE.

Patches

A patch has been introduced that replaces the raw operand in every try_* operator and in extend with the operand's type name ("string", "int", "array", etc.).

Versions 3.1.0 and later are not affected by this issue.

Workarounds

Affected users who are unable to update should not grant UPDATE permission on records whose field-level SELECT permissions are expected to hide values from the same caller.
