OpenFGA is an authorization/permission engine built for developers and inspired by Google Zanzibar. During an internal security assessment, it was discovered that OpenFGA version 0.3.0 is vulnerable to authorization bypass under certain conditions. This issue has been patched in version 0.3.1 and is backward compatible.
CVE-2022-23542
This high-severity CVE scores 7.7 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 1.0% (59th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
