Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
SurrealDB versions before 3.1.0 are vulnerable to denial of service. The type annotation parser did not enforce the configured recursion depth limit, so an authenticated user with query privileges can send a query with deeply nested type annotations and exhaust server memory, crashing the process. Upgrade to SurrealDB 3.1.0 or later. As a workaround, restrict untrusted users from running arbitrary queries using the --deny-arbitrary-query flag.
