CVE-2022-39352
CWE-863Published: November 8, 2022· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
OpenFGA is a high-performance authorization/permission engine inspired by Google Zanzibar. Versions prior to 0.2.5 are vulnerable to authorization bypass under certain conditions. You are affected by this vulnerability if you added a tuple with a wildcard (*) assigned to a tupleset relation (the right hand side of a ‘from’ statement). This issue has been patched in version v0.2.5. This update is not backward compatible with any authorization model that uses wildcard on a tupleset relation.
Risk Analysis
OpenFGA versions prior to 0.2.5 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability triggered by specific wildcard configurations in tupleset relations. This critical flaw allows remote attackers to circumvent intended permission controls.
No public exploit is known for this vulnerability, and it is not tracked in the CISA KEV catalog.
Upgrade OpenFGA to version 0.2.5 or later, noting that this update may require changes to existing authorization models.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-39352 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
