SpiceDB exclusions can result in no permission returned when permission expected

CVE-2024-38361GHSA-grjv-gjgr-66g2

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (github.com/authzed/spicedb 1.33.1), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Background Use of an exclusion under an arrow that has multiple resources may resolve to NOPERMISSION when permission is expected. For example, given this schema: If the resource exists under multiple folders and the user has access to view more than a single folder, SpiceDB may report the user does not have access due to a failure in the exclusion dispatcher to request that all the folders in which the user is a member be returned Impact Permission is returned as NOPERMISSION when PERMISSION is expected on the CheckPermission API. Workarounds None

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-38361

Advisory: SpiceDB exclusions can result in no permission returned when permission expected
IDs: CVE-2024-38361, GHSA-grjv-gjgr-66g2
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-38361 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:05 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/authzed/spicedb 1.33.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/authzed/spicedb: affected < 1.33.1; fixed in 1.33.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/authzed/spicedb: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/authzed/spicedb.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-grjv-gjgr-66g2 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-grjv-gjgr-66g2 lists affected ranges: Go github.com/authzed/spicedb >=0 <1.33.1)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
