CVE-2025-49011Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Permission denial via incomplete caveated branch evaluation

Published Jun 6, 2025 · Updated Jun 6, 2025

Improper security checking in AuthZed SpiceDB before 1.44.2 allows remote attackers to receive false permission denials. In internal/graph/check.go, checkTupleToUserset fails to require all branch results when incoming caveats exist, so one caveated branch prematurely determines the result. The affected path requires an arrow over a caveated relation and multiple caveated branches; a valid request can be denied but cannot grant unauthorized access.
