fix: fixes bug with authorizer leakage in show queries (#27196)#27197
Conversation
This PR fixes and authorization leak when running `SHOW QUERIES` as a user with access to the database you are using. Previously non-admin users could run `SHOW QUERIES` on DBs they owned, but, there was no filtering to stop them from seeing queries on other dbs too: ``` # as admin > CREATE USER bar WITH PASSWORD 'password' > GRANT ALL on "mydb" TO "bar" # as 'bar' user > SHOW QUERIES ERR: error authorizing query: bar not authorized to execute statement 'SHOW QUERIES', requires READ on > use mydb Using database mydb > SHOW QUERIES qid query database duration status --- ----- -------- -------- ------ 31 SELECT * FROM actions foobar 585ms running # this wasn't granted to 'bar'!! 32 SHOW QUERIES mydb 15µs running ``` (cherry picked from commit 5778e07)
