CVE-2026-54698: CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization in hasura graphql-engine
A vulnerability in Hasura graphql-engine prior to versions 2.49.2 and 2.45.5 allows users to infer row values that should be filtered by role-based row-level permissions via a where clause on a table computed field. This issue enables indirect information disclosure through predicate brute forcing. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 2.49.2 and 2.45.5.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-54698 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability (CWE-863) in Hasura graphql-engine. Before versions 2.49.2 and 2.45.5, a user could exploit the where clause on a table computed field returning SETOF some_table to infer row values that should be restricted by row-level permissions. Although the rows cannot be directly returned, predicates on string values allow efficient brute forcing to reveal sensitive data. This vulnerability is addressed in the specified fixed versions.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an attacker with limited privileges to infer sensitive row data that should be filtered out by role-based row-level permissions. This indirect information disclosure can lead to leakage of confidential data through brute force techniques on predicates, potentially compromising data confidentiality within the affected Hasura graphql-engine deployments.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Hasura graphql-engine versions 2.49.2 and 2.45.5. Users should upgrade to these versions or later to remediate this vulnerability. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory indicating these fixed versions.
