Vulnerability in @deepstream/server (CVE-2026-63116)
Summary
Vulnerability in @deepstream/server (CVE-2026-63116). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via RECORD_ACTION.PATCH_MULTI. Mitigation: upgrade to 10.1.1 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
The RECORD_ACTION.PATCH_MULTI action is not registered in the Valve permission system's RULES_MAP (src/services/permission/valve/rules-map.ts). When ConfigPermission.canPerformAction() is called for a PATCH_MULTI message, getRulesForMessage() returns null because the action is missing from the map. This triggers an unconditional allow (callback(..., null, true)), completely bypassing all configured Valve permission rules.
Any authenticated user — regardless of their configured permissions — can write arbitrary data to any record using the PATCH_MULTI action.
Root Cause
In src/services/permission/valve/rules-map.ts lines 38-54, the RULES_MAP[TOPIC.RECORD].actions dictionary maps record actions to permission rule types. The actions registered include: SUBSCRIBE, SUBSCRIBEANDHEAD, SUBSCRIBEANDREAD, READ, HEAD, LISTEN, CREATE, UPDATE, PATCH, NOTIFY, DELETE, ERASE. However, RECORD_ACTION.PATCH_MULTI is absent from this map.
When getRulesForMessage() at line 86-99 encounters an action not in the map, it returns null. In config-permission.ts at line 88-93, when ruleSpecification === null, the callback is invoked with true (allow) unconditionally.
Attack Chain
- Attacker authenticates with any valid credentials (even a minimal-privilege user)
- Attacker sends a WebSocket message:
