Permission inconsistency with views that call functions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all

 

I’m seeing some inconsistency with how permissions are enforced within views. In particular, if the view accesses a table directly, then the table is accessible, however if the view uses a function to access the table then permission is denied.

 

Here’s a demonstration (from pg13.0)

 

createdb temp

 

psql temp <<\EOF

create schema hidden;

 

create table hidden.tab (col1 text);

insert into hidden.tab values ('abc');

 

create function test() returns text[] as $$

  select array_agg(col1) from hidden.tab;

$$ language sql stable;

 

create view tv1 as select test();

create view tv2 as select array_agg(col1) from hidden.tab;

 

grant select on tv1 to public;

grant select on tv2 to public;

 

 

create user test password 'test' login;

EOF

 

 

 

PGPASSWORD=test psql -U test temp <<\EOF

\echo select * from tv1;

select * from tv1;

\echo ---------------

\echo select * from tv2;

select * from tv2;

set jit_inline_above_cost to -1;

\echo ---------------

\echo select * from tv1; -- no jit inlining

select * from tv1;

EOF

 

OUTPUT

 

ERROR:  permission denied for schema hidden

LINE 2:   select array_agg(col1) from hidden.tab;

                                      ^

QUERY:

  select array_agg(col1) from hidden.tab;

 

CONTEXT:  SQL function "test" during inlining

---------------

select * from tv2;

array_agg

-----------

{abc}

(1 row)

 

SET

---------------

select * from tv1; -- no jit inlining

ERROR:  permission denied for schema hidden

LINE 2:   select array_agg(col1) from hidden.tab;

                                      ^

QUERY:

  select array_agg(col1) from hidden.tab;

 

CONTEXT:  SQL function "test" during inlining

 

 

Is this expected/desirable? Any ideas how I can work around it, short of inlining every function manually (if that’s even possible) or granting access to the “hidden” schema?

 

Thanks in advance!
