CVE-2022-21646: Lookup operations do not take into account wildcards in SpiceDB
SpiceDB is a database system for managing security-critical application permissions. Any user making use of a wildcard relationship under the right hand branch of an exclusion
or within an intersection
operation will see Lookup
/LookupResources
return a resource as “accessible” if it is not accessible by virtue of the inclusion of the wildcard in the intersection or the right side of the exclusion. In v1.3.0
, the wildcard is ignored entirely in lookup’s dispatch, resulting in the banned
wildcard being ignored in the exclusion. contains a patch for this issue. As a workaround, don’t make use of wildcards on the right side of intersections or within exclusions.
