Real-World Exposure
github.com/openfga/openfgaReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Overview
OpenFGA v1.4.0 to v1.11.0 (openfga-0.1.34 <= Helm chart <= openfga-0.2.48, v.1.4.0 <= docker <= v.1.11.0) are vulnerable to improper policy enforcement when certain Check and ListObject calls are executed.
Am I Affected?
You are affected by this vulnerability if you meet the following preconditions:
- You are using OpenFGA v1.4.0 to v1.11.0
- The model has a a relation directly assignable by a type bound pubic access with condition
- The same relation is not assignable by a type bound public access without condition
- You have a type assigned for the same relation that is a type bound public access without condition
Fix
Upgrade to v1.11.1. This upgrade is backwards compatible.
Workaround
None

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/openfga/openfga, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/openfga/openfga to 1.11.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-64751 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2025-64751 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2025-64751. 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-2025-64751 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2025-64751 across Go dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
