Summary

ArcadeDB before 26.10.1 contains a remote code execution flaw in the Gremlin query engine. Authenticated users, including those holding the read-only reader role, can run Groovy code because GremlinQueryEngine.command() lacks scripting authorization checks, which is classified as CWE-863 Incorrect Authorization. An attacker can submit Gremlin commands to the POST /api/v1/command/{database} endpoint when the Groovy engine is enabled and run OS commands as the server process user.
