CVE-2026-75851

CriticalCVSS 9.9

Published: 18/08/2026(UTC)Updated: 18/08/2026(UTC)Translated: 18/08/2026(UTC)NVD NIST

Summary

ArcadeDB server (com.arcadedb:arcadedb-server) in versions 26.7.3 and earlier fails to propagate the authenticated principal to asynchronous command worker threads. When an HTTP command is submitted with awaitResponse:false, it executes on an async worker whose DatabaseContext has no bound user, causing the scripting authorization gate to become a no-op. A user with only read access to a single database can submit an asynchronous JavaScript command via the /api/v1/command endpoint to run code with unrestricted host access and create a server-wide administrator, escalating to full administrative control. Fixed in 26.8.1.

Risk Assessment

A user with limited privileges can gain full administrative control over the server, potentially leading to complete system compromise.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade ArcadeDB to version 26.8.1 or later, which fixes this vulnerability.

ArcadeDB server (com.arcadedb:arcadedb-server) in versions 26.7.3 and earlier fails to propagate the authenticated principal to asynchronous command worker threads. When an HTTP command is submitted with awaitResponse:false, it executes on an async worker whose DatabaseContext has no bound user, causing the scripting authorization gate to become a no-op. A user with only read access to a single database can submit an asynchronous JavaScript (language=js) command via the /api/v1/command endpoint to run code with unrestricted host access (e.g., database.getSecurity().createUser) and create a server-wide administrator, escalating to full administrative control. Fixed in 26.8.1.
