{"id":"CVE-2024-58356","aliases":["GHSA-27vq-hv74-7cqp"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2024-58356","summary":"SurrealDB before 2.1.4 Permission Bypass via DEFINE TABLE OVERWRITE","details":"The `OVERWRITE` clause of the `DEFINE TABLE` statement would fail to overwrite data for tables that were defined with `TYPE RELATION`. Since table definitions include the `PERMISSIONS` clause, this failure would result in permissions not being overwritten as a result, which may potentially lead users to believe they have changed the table permissions when they have not.\n\n### Impact\n\nIf a user attempted to update table permissions of a table defined with `TYPE RELATION` using `DEFINE TABLE ... OVERWRITE`, permissions for the table would not be changed. This may allow a client that is authorized to run queries in a SurrealDB server to access certain data in that specific table that they were not intended to be able to access after the specified change in permissions.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe `DEFINE TABLE` statement has been updated to appropriately overwrite data for tables defined with `TYPE RELATION`.\n\n- Version 2.1.4 and later are not affected by this issue.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nUsers of tables with `TYPE RELATION` that may have been modified using the `OVERWRITE` clause in order to update permissions are advised to verify that the intended permissions are in place using the `INFO FOR DB` statement. Affected users who are unable to update and require updating permissions in a table with `TYPE RELATION` will be required to remove the table and define it from scratch with the intended permissions. Data can be preserved by backing it up to a temporary table.\n\n### References\n\n- [#5260](https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/pull/5260)","published":"2026-07-18T13:10:00.884Z","modified":"2026-08-14T04:03:18.357708982Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.00197,"percentile":0.0969,"asOf":"2026-09-17"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"surrealdb","fixedVersion":"2.1.4"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"surrealdb-core","fixedVersion":"2.1.4"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/pull/5260","label":"surrealdb/surrealdb#5260"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/58xxx/CVE-2024-58356.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/security/advisories/GHSA-27vq-hv74-7cqp"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-58356"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/surrealdb-before-permission-bypass-via-define-table-overwrite"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/pull/5260"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/commit/2f9a58f830c24f107b4783da1f0704a502bc7734"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-14T04:03:18.357708982Z"}}
