Summary
ArcadeDB from 21.12.1 before 26.10.2 contains an authorization bypass that lets users with only readRecord permission replace the shared GraphQL schema through the read-only query endpoint. An authenticated remote attacker with low privileges can send a GraphQL type definition with a crafted @sql directive to /api/v1/query/{database}, which alters query results returned to other users, including administrators. The flaw is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization).
