CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Gremlin wire-protocol plugin in ArcadeDB versions up to 26.7.3 is vulnerable due to a lack of authorization checks, allowing any authenticated user to access, modify, or delete data across all databases on the server, regardless of their assigned permissions. This high-severity vulnerability poses a significant risk to data integrity and confidentiality. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version 26.8.1 to mitigate potential exploitation.

Original NVD Description
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.
