Unauthenticated session hijacking via RPC session enumeration
Published Jul 20, 2026 · Updated Jul 20, 2026
Session hijacking in SurrealDB before 3.1.0 allows remote attackers to impersonate attached authenticated HTTP sessions. The HTTP /rpc sessions method exposes every attached session UUID without authentication, while the handler accepts a client-supplied session field without verifying ownership. Exploitation requires an authenticated session created through HTTP attach; hijacking grants that session's data access and privilege level, including read, write, deletion, and root-level access.
