Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Users who
1. use the exclusion operator somewhere in their authorization schema
1. have configured their SpiceDB server such that `--write-relationships-max-updates-per-call` is bigger than 6500
1. issue calls to WriteRelationships with a large enough number of updates that cause the payload to be bigger than what their datastore allows
will
1. receive a successful response from their `WriteRelationships` call, when in reality that call failed,
2. receive incorrect permission check results, if those relationships had to be read to resolve the relation involving the exclusion
### Patches
Upgrade to v.145.2.
### Workarounds
Set `--write-relationships-max-updates-per-call` to `1000`.
