CVE-2026-55866
Published:June 19, 2026
Updated:June 21, 2026
Impact Under concurrency, "CheckPermission" and "CheckBulkPermissions" can return "PERMISSIONSHIP_HAS_PERMISSION" for a (resource, permission, subject) whose correct answer is "PERMISSIONSHIP_CONDITIONAL_PERMISSION". You are impacted if all of the following hold: 1. Your schema has a permission combining relations with an intersection or exclusion, where a subject reaches it through a caveated branch and a non-caveated branch. For example: definition user {} caveat some_caveat(somecondition int) { somecondition == 42 } definition document { relation reader: user | user with some_caveat relation writer: user relation banned: user permission has_permission = (reader & writer) - banned } 2. A subject reaches the permission via the caveated edge: document:firstdoc#reader@user:caveatedreader[some_caveat] document:firstdoc#writer@user:caveatedreader 3. Your workload issues "LookupResources" with a "context" request parameter, concurrently with "CheckPermission/CheckBulkPermissions" for the same subject/resource, and 4. The dispatch result cache is enabled. When all of the above are true, there is an intermittent window in which: "CheckPermission(document:firstdoc, has_permission, user:caveatedreader)" → HAS_PERMISSION (incorrect; should be CONDITIONAL_PERMISSION) "CheckPermission(document:firstdoc, has_permission, user:caveatedreader, context = {"somecondition": 41})" → HAS_PERMISSION (incorrect; should be NO_PERMISSION) Patches v1.54.0 Workarounds Disable the dispatch result cache ("ClusterDispatchCacheConfig" and "DispatchCacheConfig")
