Improper authorization control for web services In github.com/openfga/openfga

Description

OpenFGA Authorization Bypass Overview OpenFGA v1.8.4 or previous (Helm chart < openfga-0.2.22, docker < v.1.8.5) are vulnerable to authorization bypass when certain Check and ListObject calls are executed.

Am I Affected? If you are using OpenFGA v1.8.4 or previous, specifically under the following conditions, you are affected by this authorization bypass vulnerability:

    Calling Check API or ListObjects with a model that has a relation directly assignable to both public access AND userset with the same type, and

    A type bound public access tuple is assigned to an object, and

    userset tuple is not assigned to the same object, and

    Check request's user field is a userset that has the same type as the type bound public access tuple's user type

Fix Upgrade to v1.8.5. This upgrade is backwards compatible.
