CVE-2024-58358
CVE-2024-58358 is a CWE-248 vulnerability in surrealdb. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2024-58358 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
SurrealDB before 2.1.0 Denial of Service via Nonexistent Role
Blast Radius
surrealdb🦀surrealdb-coreReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
SurrealDB versions before 2.1.0 contain a denial of service vulnerability in role conversion that allows privileged owner users to define users with nonexistent roles. Attackers can trigger an uncaught panic by signing in with a user assigned an invalid role, crashing the server.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🦀crates.io | surrealdb | all versions | 2.1.0 |
| 🦀crates.io | surrealdb-core | all versions | 2.1.0 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for surrealdb. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update surrealdb to 2.1.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-58358 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-58358 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2024-58358. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
