Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-862.
Summary
ArcadeDB from 26.8.1 before 26.10.1 contains an authorization bypass (CWE-862) that lets read-only users change the lightweight and unique schema flags of edge types without the UPDATE_SCHEMA permission. An attacker with read-only access can send a bare ALTER TYPE command over the HTTP, gRPC, or Bolt command API to persistently change edge storage declarations. The CVSS 4.0 vector requires low privileges and no user interaction, and the impact is limited to integrity.
