Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

SurrealDB versions before 3.1.4 do not enforce array element-level (field.*) SELECT permissions correctly for record users, so denied array elements can be returned in query results. A record (scope) user who can already SELECT the table can read elements that should be hidden, and a deny-all or a WHERE predicate both return the wrong elements. Upgrade to SurrealDB 3.1.4, which fixes the issue. Field-level permissions are not affected.
