Summary

OpenFGA's BatchCheck within-request deduplication produces incorrect authorization decisions via list-value cache-key collision

Details

Description

In OpenFGA, under specific conditions, BatchCheck calls with multiple checks sent for the same object, relation, and user combination can result in improper policy enforcement.

Am I affected?

You are affected if you meet the following preconditions: 1. You execute BatchCheck operations which rely on context. 2. Multiple checks are sent within a single BatchCheck operation for the same user/object/relation combination, each containing context. 3. The contexts between those checks differ in a specific way

Fix

Upgrade to OpenFGA v1.14.0

Acknowledgement

OpenFGA would like to thank @bugbunny-research for the discovery and detailed report.
