{"id":"CVE-2025-71392","summary":"SurrealDB before 2.2.2 SurrealQL Injection via export","details":"SurrealDB 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.","aliases":["GHSA-ccj3-5p93-8p42"],"modified":"2026-08-15T11:45:26.256060085Z","published":"2026-07-18T13:10:11.661Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"VulnCheck","cwe_ids":["CWE-77"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/71xxx/CVE-2025-71392.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/71xxx/CVE-2025-71392.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/security/advisories/GHSA-ccj3-5p93-8p42"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-71392"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/surrealdb-before-surrealql-injection-via-export"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"a83e960ee5513a3e39c88f312fabba83f8e15322"},{"introduced":"3fe28f57517a5d3255cdbb479c815d8021abf92a"},{"fixed":"b0a15fa3a19ebe2785115c9948dfbde00399adc8"},{"introduced":"0ee8dc2c3ec8e883038d0ee00bbce6a6126fe655"},{"fixed":"e25952a66567ef303ad94908d04146e44a068d01"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:surrealdb:surrealdb:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.0.5"},{"introduced":"2.1.0"},{"fixed":"2.1.5"},{"introduced":"2.2.0"},{"fixed":"2.2.2"}],"source":"CPE_RANGE"}}],"versions":["v2.2.1","v2.1.4","v2.0.4","v2.2.0","v2.1.3","v2.1.2","v2.1.1","v2.1.0","v2.0.3","v2.0.2","v2.0.1","v2.0.0","v2.0.0-beta.3","v2.0.0-beta.2","v2.0.0-beta.1","v2.0.0-alpha.9","v2.0.0-alpha.8","v2.0.0-alpha.7","v2.0.0-alpha.6","v2.0.0-alpha.5","v2.0.0-alpha.4","v2.0.0-alpha.3","v2.0.0-alpha.2","v2.0.0-alpha.1","v1.0.0","v1.0.0-beta.12","v1.0.0-beta.11","v1.0.0-beta.10","v1.0.0-beta.9+20230402","v1.0.0-beta.9","v1.0.0-beta.8","v1.0.0-beta.7","v1.0.0-beta.6","v1.0.0-beta.5","v1.0.0-beta.4","v1.0.0-beta.3","v1.0.0-beta.2","v1.0.0-beta.1","v0.3.0","v0.1.30","v0.1.29","v0.1.28","v0.1.27","v0.1.26","v0.1.25","v0.1.24","v0.1.23","v0.1.22","v0.1.21","v0.1.20","v0.1.19","v0.1.18","v0.1.17","v0.1.16","v0.1.15","v0.1.14","v0.1.13","v0.1.12","v0.1.11","v0.1.10","v0.1.9","v0.1.8","v0.1.7","v0.1.6","v0.1.5","v0.1.4","v0.1.3","v0.1.2","v0.1.1","v0.1.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-71392.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"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"}]}
