Summary

SurrealDB before 3.3.0 contains an authorization bypass in LIVE SELECT projections. A record user with low privileges over the network can read fields hidden by field-level SELECT permissions by projecting them from $after or $before under an alias, receiving exact stored values in CREATE, UPDATE, and DELETE notifications. This is classified as Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863).
