Title
Lookup operations do not take into account wildcards in SpiceDB
Summary
SpiceDB is a database system for managing security-critical application permissions. Any user making use of a wildcard relationship under the right hand branch of an `exclusion` or within an `intersection` operation will see `Lookup`/`LookupResources` return a resource as "accessible" if it is *not* accessible by virtue of the inclusion of the wildcard in the intersection or the right side of the exclusion. In `v1.3.0`, the wildcard is ignored entirely in lookup's dispatch, resulting in the `banned` wildcard being ignored in the exclusion. Version 1.4.0 contains a patch for this issue. As a workaround, don't make use of wildcards on the right side of intersections or within exclusions.

Any user making use of a wildcard relationship under the right hand branch of an `exclusion` or within an `intersection` operation will see `Lookup`/`LookupResources` return a resource as \\\"accessible\\\" if it is *not* accessible by virtue of the inclusion of the wildcard in the intersection or the right side of the exclusion. In `v1.3.0`, the wildcard is ignored entirely in lookup\u0027s dispatch, resulting in the `banned` wildcard being ignored in the exclusion. Version 1.4.0 contains a patch for this issue. As a workaround, don\u0027t make use of wildcards on the right side of intersections or within exclusions.\"}]}, \"impact\": {\"cvss\": {\"attackComplexity\": \"LOW\", \"attackVector\": \"NETWORK\", \"availabilityImpact\": \"NONE\", \"baseScore\": 8.1, \"baseSeverity\": \"HIGH\", \"confidentialityImpact\": \"HIGH\", \"integrityImpact\": \"HIGH\", \"privilegesRequired\": \"LOW\", \"scope\": \"UNCHANGED\", \"userInteraction\": \"NONE\", \"vectorString\": \"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N\", \"version\": \"3.1\"}}, \"problemtype\": {\"problemtype_data\": [{\"description\": [{\"lang\": \"eng\", \"value\": \"CWE-155: Improper Neutralization of Wildcards or Matching Symbols\"}]}, {\"description\": [{\"lang\": \"eng\", \"value\": \"CWE-20: Improper Input Validation\"}]}]}, \"references\": {\"reference_data\": [{\"name\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/security/advisories/GHSA-7p8f-8hjm-wm92\", \"refsource\": \"CONFIRM\", \"url\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/security/advisories/GHSA-7p8f-8hjm-wm92\"}, {\"name\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/issues/358\", \"refsource\": \"MISC\", \"url\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/issues/358\"}, {\"name\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/commit/15bba2e2d2a4bda336a37a7fe8ef8a35028cd970\", \"refsource\": \"MISC\", \"url\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/commit/15bba2e2d2a4bda336a37a7fe8ef8a35028cd970\"}, {\"name\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/releases/tag/v1.4.0\", \"refsource\": \"MISC\", \"url\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/releases/tag/v1.4.0\"}]}, \"source\": {\"advisory\": \"GHSA-7p8f-8hjm-wm92\", \"discovery\": \"UNKNOWN\"}}}, \"adp\": [{\"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\", \"shortName\": \"CVE\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2024-08-03T02:46:39.055Z\"}, \"title\": \"CVE Program Container\", \"references\": [{\"tags\": [\"x_refsource_CONFIRM\", \"x_transferred\"], \"url\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/security/advisories/GHSA-7p8f-8hjm-wm92\"}, {\"tags\": [\"x_refsource_MISC\", \"x_transferred\"], \"url\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/issues/358\"}, {\"tags\": [\"x_refsource_MISC\", \"x_transferred\"], \"url\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/commit/15bba2e2d2a4bda336a37a7fe8ef8a35028cd970\"}, {\"tags\": [\"x_refsource_MISC\", \"x_transferred\"], \"url\": \"https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/releases/tag/v1.4.0\"}]}, {\"title\": \"CISA ADP Vulnrichment\", \"metrics\": [{\"other\": {\"type\": \"ssvc\", \"content\": {\"id\": \"CVE-2022-21646\", \"role\": \"CISA Coordinator\", \"options\": [{\"Exploitation\": \"none\"}, {\"Automatable\": \"no\"}, {\"Technical Impact\": \"total\"}], \"version\": \"2.0.3\", \"timestamp\": \"2025-04-23T15:56:58.194304Z\"}}}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0\", \"shortName\": \"CISA-ADP\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2025-04-23T15:57:00.097Z\"}}]}",
