{"cve":"CVE-2025-48371","nvd":{"published":"2025-05-22T23:15:19.230","modified":"2026-06-17T09:29:33.787","status":"Analyzed","description":"OpenFGA is an authorization/permission engine. OpenFGA versions 1.8.0 through 1.8.12 (corresponding to Helm chart openfga-0.2.16 through openfga-0.2.30 and docker 1.8.0 through 1.8.12) are vulnerable to authorization bypass when certain Check and ListObject calls are executed. Users are affected under four specific conditions: First, calling Check API or ListObjects with an authorization model that has a relationship directly assignable by both type bound public access and userset; second, there are check or list object queries with contextual tuples for the relationship that can be directly assignable by both type bound public access and userset; third, those contextual tuples’s user field is an userset; and finally, type bound public access tuples are not assigned to the relationship. Users should upgrade to version 1.8.13 to receive a patch. The upgrade is backwards compatible.","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:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-285"],"references":["https://github.com/openfga/openfga/commit/e5960d4eba92b723de8ff3a5346a07f50c1379ca","https://github.com/openfga/openfga/security/advisories/GHSA-c72g-53hw-82q7"],"products":["openfga:helm_charts","openfga:openfga"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:01:57.636215869+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-48371","score":0.00503,"percentile":0.43018,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-c72g-53hw-82q7","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-c72g-53hw-82q7","summary":"OpenFGA Authorization Bypass","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:24.481597446Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/openfga/openfga","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/openfga/openfga","ranges":[">=1.8.0 <1.8.13"],"fixed":["1.8.13"]}]},{"id":"GO-2025-3707","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2025-3707","summary":"OpenFGA Authorization Bypass in github.com/openfga/openfga","modified":"2026-02-04T04:15:19.418001Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/openfga/openfga","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/openfga/openfga","ranges":[">=1.8.0 <1.8.13"],"fixed":["1.8.13"]}]}],"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).
