What is CVE-2025-71396?

SurrealDB versions prior to 2.0.5, 2.1.5, and 2.2.2 lack a default execution-time limit for embedded JavaScript functions when scripting is enabled. This allows authenticated attackers to submit resource-intensive scripts, leading to server resource depletion and potential denial of service. By exploiting this flaw, an attacker can disrupt normal server operations, impacting availability and performance.

Affected Version(s)

surrealdb 0 < 2.2.2

surrealdb 0 < 2.0.5

surrealdb 0 < 2.1.5
