Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact Any user making use of a wildcard relationship under the right hand branch of an `exclusion` or within an `intersection` operation will see `Lookup`/`LookupResources` return a resource as "accessible" if it is *not* accessible by virtue of the inclusion of the wildcard in the intersection or the right side of the exclusion. For example, given schema: ```zed definition user {} definition resource { relation viewer: user relation banned: user | user:* permission view = viewer - banned } ``` If `user:*` is placed into the `banned` relation for a particular resource, `view` should return false for *all* resources. in `v1.3.0`, the wildcard is ignored entirely in lookup's dispatch, resulting in the `banned` wildcard being ignored in the exclusion. ### Workarounds Don't make use of wildcards on the right side of intersections or within exclusions. ### References https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/issues/358 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [SpiceDB](https://github.com/authzed/spicedb) * Ask a question in the [SpiceDB Discord](https://authzed.com/discord)
