Doc Text:
A flaw was found in strawberry-graphql. When evaluating permissions on synchronous field resolvers, the library fails to properly await asynchronous permission check results and treats the resulting objects as inherently valid. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to bypass authorization checks on protected GraphQL fields, resulting in unauthorized information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-08 22:31:24 UTC 
Strawberry GraphQL is a library for creating GraphQL APIs. From 0.217.0 until 0.326.1, PermissionExtension.resolve() on a synchronous field resolver evaluates the result of has_permission() for truthiness. When a custom permission declares has_permission() as a normal function but returns an awaitable, supports_sync does not classify it as asynchronous, the awaitable is not awaited, and its inherently truthy object value permits the protected resolver to run even when the result would resolve to false. This affects synchronous field resolvers under both execute_sync() and execute(); permissions declared with async def has_permission() and synchronous permissions returning a boolean are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.326.1.
