Affected packages
• Go github.com/openfga/openfga: < 1.1.1 → fixed in 1.1.1
Description
Overview
OpenFGA versions v1.1.0 and prior are vulnerable to a DoS attack when certain Check and ListObjects calls are executed against authorization models that contain circular relationship definitions.
Am I Affected?
You are affected by this vulnerability if you are using OpenFGA v1.1.0 or earlier, and if you are executing certain Check or ListObjects calls against a vulnerable authorization model. To see which of your models could be vulnerable to this attack, download OpenFGA v1.2.0 and run the following command:
```
./openfga validate-models --datastore-engine --datastore-uri | jq .[] | select(.Error | contains("loop"))
```
replacing the variables `` and `` as needed.
Fix
Upgrade to v1.1.1.
Backward Compatibility
If you are not passing an invalid authorization model (as identified by running `./openfga validate-models`) as a parameter of your Check and ListObjects calls, this upgrade is backwards compatible.
Otherwise, OpenFGA v1.1.1 will start returning HTTP 400 status codes on those calls.
