CVE-2025-71395
SurrealDB memory exhaustion via string::replace using regex
描述
An authenticated user can craft a query using the `string::replace` function that uses a Regex to perform a string replacement. As there is a failure to restrict the resulting string length, this enables an attacker to send a `string::replace` function to the SurrealDB server exhausting all the memory of the server due to string allocations. This eventually results in a Denial-of-Service situation for the SurrealDB server. This issue was discovered and patched during an code audit and penetration test of SurrealDB by cure53. Using CVSSv4 definitions, the severity is High. ### Impact An authenticated user can crash the SurrealDB instance through memory exhaustion ### Patches A patch has been created that enforces a limit on string length `SURREAL_GENERATION_ALLOCATION_LIMIT` - Versions 2.0.5, 2.1.5, 2.2.2, and later are not affected by this issue ### Workarounds Affected users who are unable to update may want to limit the ability of untrusted clients to run the `string::replace` function in the affected versions of SurrealDB using the `--deny-functions` flag described within [Capabilities](https://surrealdb.com/docs/surrealdb/security/capabilities#functions) or the equivalent `SURREAL_CAPS_DENY_FUNC` environment variable. ### References [SurrealQL Documentation - DB Functions (string::replace)](https://surrealdb.com/docs/surrealql/functions/database/string#stringreplace) [SurrealDB Documentation - Capabilities](https://surrealdb.com/docs/surrealdb/security/capabilities#functions) [SurrealDB Documentation - Environment Variables](https://surrealdb.com/docs/surrealdb/cli/env) [#5619 ](https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/pull/5619) [#5638 ](https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/pull/5638)
