CVE-2026-63750: SurrealDB before 3.1.0 Memory Amplification via /sql WebSocket

Published Jul 20, 2026
·
Updated

SurrealDB versions before 3.1.0 fail to apply the SURREALWEBSOCKETMAXMESSAGESIZE limit to anonymous /sql WebSocket connections, allowing attackers to buffer unbounded frames in the per-connection read buffer. Attackers can stream WebSocket frames larger than the configured limit across multiple concurrent connections to consume excessive memory and degrade /sql availability.

Affected Software

2 affected components
