CVE-2026-42072
CriticalSummary
In versions prior to 1.0.42-hotfix, the CLI flag --address and the NORNICDB_ADDRESS configuration were not correctly passed to the Bolt server configuration, resulting in the server always listening on all interfaces. This exposes the graph database to the local network with default admin:password credentials.
Risk Assessment
The organization is at risk of unauthorized access to the graph database, which could lead to data leaks or unauthorized modifications.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to version 1.0.42-hotfix to secure the Bolt server from unauthorized access and to configure appropriate network security measures.
Original NVD description (English source)
Nornicdb is a distributed low-latency, Graph+Vector, Temporal MVCC with all sub-ms HNSW search, graph traversal, and writes. Prior to version 1.0.42-hotfix, the --address CLI flag (and NORNICDB_ADDRESS / server.host config key) is plumbed through to the HTTP server correctly but never reaches the Bolt server config. The Bolt listener therefore always binds to the wildcard address (all interfaces), regardless of what the user configures. On a LAN, this exposes the graph database — with its default admin:password credentials — to any device sharing the network. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.42-hotfix.
