{"id":"CVE-2022-21646","aliases":["GHSA-7p8f-8hjm-wm92","GO-2022-0295"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2022-21646","summary":"Lookup operations do not take into account wildcards in SpiceDB","details":"SpiceDB is a database system for managing security-critical application permissions. Any user making use of a wildcard relationship under the right hand branch of an `exclusion` or within an `intersection` operation will see `Lookup`/`LookupResources` return a resource as \"accessible\" if it is *not* accessible by virtue of the inclusion of the wildcard in the intersection or the right side of the exclusion. In `v1.3.0`, the wildcard is ignored entirely in lookup's dispatch, resulting in the `banned` wildcard being ignored in the exclusion. Version 1.4.0 contains a patch for this issue. As a workaround, don't make use of wildcards on the right side of intersections or within exclusions.","published":"2022-01-11T21:50:10Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:31.387507275Z","cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/authzed/spicedb","fixedVersion":"1.4.0"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/commit/15bba2e2d2a4bda336a37a7fe8ef8a35028cd970","label":"authzed/spicedb@15bba2e"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/releases/tag/v1.4.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/21xxx/CVE-2022-21646.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/security/advisories/GHSA-7p8f-8hjm-wm92"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-21646"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/issues/358"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/commit/15bba2e2d2a4bda336a37a7fe8ef8a35028cd970"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:31.387507275Z"}}
