SCA: security update for github.com/openfga/openfga (GHSA-c72g-53hw-82q7)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439452

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - OpenFGA is an authorization/permission engine. OpenFGA versions 1.8.0 through 1.8.12 (corresponding to
 Helm chart openfga-0.2.16 through openfga-0.2.30 and docker 1.8.0 through 1.8.12) are vulnerable to
 authorization bypass when certain Check and ListObject calls are executed. Users are affected under four
 specific conditions: First, calling Check API or ListObjects with an authorization model that has a
 relationship directly assignable by both type bound public access and userset; second, there are check or
 list object queries with contextual tuples for the relationship that can be directly assignable by both
 type bound public access and userset; third, those contextual tuples’s user field is an userset; and
 finally, type bound public access tuples are not assigned to the relationship. Users should upgrade to
 version 1.8.13 to receive a patch. The upgrade is backwards compatible. (CVE-2025-48371)

Solution

Update the github.com/openfga/openfga library and its related packages to version 1.8.13 or later.
