CVE-2026-67356

ArcadeDB (com.arcadedb) versions 26.7.3 and earlier fail to enforce the UPDATE_SCHEMA permission check when a DEFINE FUNCTION statement targets an already-existing function library. A user with only database access can add or overwrite SQL or Cypher functions in an existing library and persist the change, enabling tampering with admin-defined function logic. The issue is fixed in 26.8.1.

ArcadeDB's Gremlin wire-protocol plugin (com.arcadedb:arcadedb-gremlin) in versions <= 26.7.3 enforces authentication (SASL PLAIN) but performs no authorization: it never checks database access permissions (canAccessToDatabase) and never binds the authenticated principal into the engine. As a result, any valid server credential — even one provisioned for zero or one unrelated database — can read, write, and drop data in any database on the server by selecting a target database via a traversal-source alias, completely bypassing the engine's per-type/read-only/UPDATE_SCHEMA ACLs. The issue is fixed in version 26.8.1.

ArcadeDB before 26.8.1 (affected versions <= 26.7.3) contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the DELETE FUNCTION SQL statement. DeleteFunctionStatement.executeSimple unregisters and persists deletion of a server-side function without any checkPermissionsOnDatabase (UPDATE_SCHEMA) check. Any user with database access can execute DELETE FUNCTION via the command API (POST /api/v1/command/{db}) to permanently remove any registered server-side function, including security-relevant logic, impacting integrity and availability.

ArcadeDB versions 26.4.2 through 26.7.3 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the set_server_setting MCP server-level tool. SetServerSettingTool.execute() gates only on the global allowAdmin flag and never checks the caller's role, so in an MCP deployment with allowAdmin=true and a non-root allowedUsers set, any authenticated read-only user can invoke set_server_setting to modify server GlobalConfiguration, enabling configuration tampering or denial of service. The issue is fixed in 26.8.1.

ArcadeDB versions before 26.8.1 contain a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the IMPORT DATABASE command where the security validator resolves and checks hostnames but the subsequent connection re-resolves the raw URL and follows redirects. Authenticated attackers can bypass the validator using DNS rebinding or HTTP redirects to access cloud metadata endpoints, internal services, or read arbitrary local files on default installations.

ArcadeDB before 26.8.1 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the Cypher range() function that allows authenticated users to exhaust server heap memory. Attackers can submit oversized range() expressions with large bounds to trigger OutOfMemoryError and cause temporary service degradation or unavailability.

ArcadeDB before 26.8.1 contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the GraalVM JavaScript sandbox allowlist enforcement, which uses unescaped regular expressions to validate package names. Attackers with trigger creation privileges can use Java.type() to access java.util.zip.ZipFile or java.util.jar.JarFile classes and read arbitrary files on the host system as the ArcadeDB server process.

ArcadeDB (com.arcadedb:arcadedb-server) versions up to 26.7.3 contain an IDOR vulnerability in the Raft cluster-info endpoints (GetClusterHandler and PostBootstrapStateHandler), which authenticate but do not authorize access. On an ArcadeDB HA cluster (only reachable when arcadedb.ha.enabled is set and the ha-raft module is loaded), any authenticated user — including one granted access to only one database or none — can enumerate the full server database registry and retrieve per-database metadata such as database names, last transaction IDs, bootstrap fingerprints, and peer/leader cluster topology, resulting in cross-database information disclosure. Fixed in 26.8.1.

ArcadeDB versions before 26.8.1 contain a missing authentication vulnerability in the Redis wire-protocol plugin that allows unauthenticated attackers to read, write, and delete data. Attackers can connect to the Redis port and execute arbitrary commands against any database without credentials.

ArcadeDB versions before 26.8.1 fail to enforce SASL authentication on data commands in the MongoDB wire-protocol plugin. Unauthenticated attackers can issue insert, find, update, delete, and create commands against any database by connecting to port 27017 without credentials.
