GHSA-cf98-j28v-49v6: github.com/openfga/openfga (CVE-2026-55170)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
github.com/openfga/openfga	Go	<1.18.0	1.18.0

Machine-written summary

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

OpenFGA (github.com/openfga/openfga) versions before 1.18.0 are vulnerable when MySQL is used as the datastore: two distinct check requests can return the same response. The source gives few details on how this is triggered, but it applies when authorization decisions rely on case-sensitive user strings. Upgrade to version 1.18.0 or later.
