OpenFGA < v1.8.4 (Helm chart < openfga-0.2.22, docker < v.1.8.4) are vulnerable to authorization bypass when certain Check and ListObject calls are executed. Users on OpenFGA v1.8.4 or previous, specifically under the following conditions are affected by this authorization bypass vulnerability: 1. Calling Check API or ListObjects with a model that has a relation directly assignable to both public access AND userset with the same type. 2. A type bound public access tuple is assigned to an object. 3. userset tuple is not assigned to the same object. and 4. Check request's user field is a userset that has the same type as the type bound public access tuple's user type. Users are advised to upgrade to v1.8.5 which is backwards compatible. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","score":5.8},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-285"],"references":["https://github.com/openfga/openfga/commit/0aee4f47e0c642de78831ceb27bb62b116f49588","https://github.com/openfga/openfga/security/advisories/GHSA-g4v5-6f5p-m38j"],"products":["openfga:helm_charts","openfga:openfga"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:59:18.731010617+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-25196","score":0.00434,"percentile":0.37691,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-g4v5-6f5p-m38j","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-g4v5-6f5p-m38j","summary":"OpenFGA Authorization Bypass","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:06.210425557Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/openfga/openfga","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/openfga/openfga","ranges":["<1.8.5"],"fixed":["1.8.5"]}]},{"id":"GO-2025-3470","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2025-3470","summary":"OpenFGA Authorization Bypass in github.com/openfga/openfga","modified":"2026-02-04T04:25:01.291911Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/openfga/openfga","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/openfga/openfga","ranges":["<1.8.5"],"fixed":["1.8.5"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
