8.8 HIGH

Network-reachable and low-complexity with no attacker auth (PR:N), but exploitation depends on a legitimate client having attached an authenticated session, mapped from CVSS 4.0 UI:P to UI:R; full C/I/A impact within the DB with no scope change.

DescriptionCVE.org

SurrealDB versions before 3.1.0 contain a session hijacking vulnerability where the HTTP /rpc sessions method returns attached session UUIDs without authentication and accepts arbitrary session fields with no ownership verification. Unauthenticated attackers can enumerate session UUIDs and impersonate authenticated sessions to read, write, delete data and escalate privileges.

AnalysisAI

Session hijacking in SurrealDB before 3.1.0 lets unauthenticated attackers enumerate attached session UUIDs through the HTTP /rpc 'sessions' method and then impersonate any authenticated session by supplying an arbitrary 'session' field that the /rpc handler never ownership-checks. Because impersonation inherits the victim session's authorization, an anonymous caller can read, write, and delete data and escalate to that session's level, up to root. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires (1) the SurrealDB HTTP /rpc endpoint to be network-reachable to the attacker, and (2) at least one client to have registered an authenticated session via {"method":"attach"} on that HTTP transport - in practice the official Rust SDK's Http/Https engine, which auto-attaches once per Surreal handle. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P) with VC:H/VI:H/VA:H and a base score of 8.7 indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with high impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability but no scope change to other systems (SC/SI/SA:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An application uses the official Rust SDK's Http engine, which auto-attaches an authenticated (up to root) session to a SurrealDB < 3.1.0 instance reachable on the network. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach /rpc calls the 'sessions' method to list attached UUIDs, then issues an /rpc request carrying a victim's UUID in the 'session' field and is treated as that authenticated session, reading and deleting data and escalating privilege. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to SurrealDB 3.1.0 or later, in which HTTP sessions() now returns method_not_allowed, the /rpc handler gates client-supplied session IDs against the caller's request-level auth principal (actor id + level) and returns session_not_found on mismatch, and attached HTTP sessions are capped via the SURREAL_HTTP_MAX_ATTACHED_SESSIONS environment variable (patch commit https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/commit/fd800fc7c55afcdc97057d18cf7cb7f83557e702). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, restrict network access to the HTTP /rpc endpoint to trusted internal networks only and evaluate disabling the 'sessions' method if business operations permit. …
