This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n## Original Description\nSurrealDB before 2.0.5, 2.1.x before 2.1.5, and 2.2.x before 2.2.2 fails to properly escape table and field names in the command-line export command. An authenticated System User with OWNER or EDITOR roles can create tables or fields with malicious names containing SurrealQL. When a higher-privileged user subsequently imports the exported backup, the injected SurrealQL executes, enabling privilege escalation and root-level takeover of the SurrealDB instance. Applications that let users define custom tables or fields are also exposed to a universal second-order SurrealQL injection even when query parameters are sanitized.","state":2,"publishedAt":"2026-07-18T15:31:49+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-09-04T19:45:06.8520945+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","name":"surrealdb","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"0"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS_V3","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":null,"severity":null},{"system":"CVSS_V4","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X","score":null,"severity":null},{"system":"Publisher rating","vector":null,"score":null,"severity":"CRITICAL"}],"references":["https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/security/advisories/GHSA-ccj3-5p93-8p42","https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-71392","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/surrealdb-before-surrealql-injection-via-export"],"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-h5q3-3v5q-v5j8","license":"GitHub Advisory Database · CC-BY-4.0","key":"osv:GHSA-h5q3-3v5q-v5j8","identifiers":["GHSA-h5q3-3v5q-v5j8"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
