CVE-2026-107910

HighCVSS 8.1
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An improper authentication vulnerability in the is_authenticated function (src/bolt/bolt_api.c) in FalkorDB before 4.20.0 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute graph queries without credentials through the Bolt endpoint. The function decides whether a password is required by issuing an empty AUTH command to Redis and treats only a WRONGPASS error as meaning that a password is required; any other error, such as LOADING while a dataset is being loaded, MASTERDOWN during replication failover, or OOM under memory pressure, causes the client to be treated as authenticated. Only deployments that enable the Bolt endpoint (BOLT_PORT, disabled by default) are affected.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can access graph data and execute queries without credentials, potentially leading to data leakage or modification. The risk applies to environments where the Bolt endpoint is enabled.

Recommendation

Update FalkorDB to version 4.20.0 or later. If the Bolt endpoint is not needed, keep it disabled; otherwise, restrict network access to the Bolt port and monitor for unauthorized connection attempts.
