Description

OpenFGA, an authorization/permission engine, is vulnerable to a denial of service attack in versions prior to 1.4.3. In some scenarios that depend on the model and tuples used, a call to ListObjects may not release memory properly. So when a sufficiently high number of those calls are executed, the OpenFGA server can create an out of memory error and terminate. Version 1.4.3 contains a patch for this issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/openfga/openfga to 1.4.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rxpw-85vw-fx87 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.

Frequently Asked Questions

## Overview OpenFGA is vulnerable to a DoS attack. In some scenarios that depend on the model and tuples used, a call to ListObjects may not release memory properly. So when a sufficiently high number of those calls are executed, the OpenFGA server can create an "out of memory" error and terminate. ## Fix Upgrade to v1.4.3. This upgrade is backwards compatible.
