Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-281. Spicedb is an Open Source, Google Zanzibar-inspired permissions database to enable fine-grained authorization for customer applications. Use of an exclusion under an arrow that has multiple resources may resolve to NO_PERMISSION when permission is expected. If the resource exists under *multiple* folders and the user has access to view more than a single folder, SpiceDB may report the user does not have access due to a failure in the exclusion dispatcher to request that *all* the folders in which the user is a member be returned. Permission is returned as NO_PERMISSION when PERMISSION is expected on the CheckPermission API. This issue has been addressed in version 1.33.1. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue. Affected products include: Authzed Spicedb. Version information: version 1.33.1..
