CVE-2022-21646: Lookup operations do not take into account wildcards in SpiceDB

January 13, 2022

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.
