CVE-2026-24851
OpenFGA Improper Policy Enforcement
In short
OpenFGA versions 1.8.5 to 1.11.2 have a flaw where authorization checks may incorrectly allow or deny access due to improper handling of permission rules. This happens when specific combinations of public and non-public access settings are configured, potentially exposing sensitive resources to unauthorized users.
Technical detail
CWE-863 improper authorization vulnerability in OpenFGA affecting Check API calls when models combine type-bound public and non-public relations with overlapping tuple assignments. The vulnerability requires a specific permission model configuration with lexicographically ordered object IDs and mixed access type tuples; exploitation could bypass intended authorization controls. Fixed in v1.11.3.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
OpenFGA is a high-performance and flexible authorization/permission engine built for developers and inspired by Google Zanzibar. OpenFGA v1.8.5 to v1.11.2 ( openfga-0.2.22<= Helm chart <= openfga-0.2.51, v.1.8.5 <= docker <= v.1.11.2) are vulnerable to improper policy enforcement when certain Check calls are executed. The vulnerability requires a model that has a a relation directly assignable by a type bound public access and assignable by type bound non-public access, a tuple assigned for the relation that is a type bound public access, a tuple assigned for the same object with the same relation that is not type bound public access, and a tuple assigned for a different object that has an object ID lexicographically larger with the same user and relation which is not type bound public access. This vulnerability is fixed in v1.11.3.
