Authenticated edge overwrite via RELATE id collision
Published Jul 20, 2026 · Updated Jul 20, 2026
Authorization bypass in SurrealDB before 3.1.0 allows remote authenticated users to overwrite protected edge records via RELATE statements. On the create path, a SET id clause can resolve to an existing edge, and the storage layer calls set_record, silently replacing it rather than rejecting the collision. Exploitation requires authentication and CREATE permission on the edge table; it changes stored edge data without the UPDATE permission that protects the target.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
