CVE-2025-11060
MEDIUMSurrealDB is Vulnerable to Unauthorized Data Exposure via LIVE Query Subscriptions
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
A flaw was found in the live query subscription mechanism of the database engine. This vulnerability allows record or guest users to observe unauthorized records within the same table, bypassing access controls, via crafted LIVE SELECT subscriptions when other users alter or delete records.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🦀crates.io | SurrealDB | ≥ 2.3.0&&< 2.3.8 | 2.3.8 |
| 🦀crates.io | SurrealDB | ≥ 2.2.0&&< 2.2.8 | 2.2.8 |
| 🦀crates.io | SurrealDB | all versions | 2.1.9 |
| 🦀crates.io | SurrealDB | ≥ 3.0.0-alpha.0&&< 3.0.0-alpha.8 | 3.0.0-alpha.8 |
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 2.3.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-11060 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-2025-11060 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-2025-11060. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2025-11060 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2025-11060 across crates.io dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
