Description
ArcadeDB before 26.8.1 fails to bind the authenticated principal (setCurrentUser) on its batch and time-series HTTP handlers. Because no principal is bound on the worker thread, the engine's fine-grained per-type ACL layer (LocalBucket.checkPermissionsOnFile) does not execute for these handlers. In deployments that use per-type or per-group ACLs, a user with database access but only limited per-type permissions can read from and write to types they are not authorized to access by submitting requests to the batch/time-series endpoints. Deployments that rely solely on database-level access control are not affected.

AI Analysis

Impact

ArcadeDB versions prior to 26.8.1 do not correctly associate the authenticated user with batch and time‑series HTTP request handlers. Because the principal is missing on the worker thread, the fine‑grained per‑type ACL checks are skipped. An attacker who has database access but limited per‑type permissions can send requests to the batch or time‑series endpoints and read or write records in types that should be protected. The vulnerability is a CWE‑862 problem of improper authorization.

Affected Systems

This issue affects all installations of ArcadeDB released before 26.8.1. Existing deployments that rely exclusively on database‑level permissions are safe, but any configuration that enables per‑type or per‑group ACLs is vulnerable. The vendor is ArcadeData, product ArcadeDB.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 2.3 reflects the limited impact, but the lack of an authenticated or exploit check indicates the vulnerability is exploitable over the network via standard HTTP batch or time‑series APIs. No EPSS score is available and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it has not yet been actively abused. In environments that allow these endpoints, an attacker can gain unauthorized data access, so the risk is low severity but potentially significant for protected data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade ArcadeDB to version 26.8.1 or later, which binds the principal and restores ACL enforcement.
  • After the upgrade, review ACL configurations to confirm that per‑type controls are functioning as intended.
  • If possible, restrict or disable the batch and time‑series HTTP endpoints for users that do not need them, or rely solely on database‑level ACLs until the fix is applied.
