GHSA-fxc7-fm93-6q77
ArcadeDB vulnerable to cross-database authorization bypass and unsecured newly-created databases
Quick fix
GHSA-fxc7-fm93-6q77 — com.arcadedb:arcadedb-server: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>26.4.2</version> for com.arcadedb:arcadedb-serverDetails
### Impact Authenticated users and API tokens scoped to a specific database could read, write, and mutate schema on any other database on the same server. Two distinct defects contributed: (1) ServerSecurityUser.getDatabaseUser() returned a DB user with an uninitialized fileAccessMap, which requestAccessOnFile treated as allow-all; (2) ArcadeDBServer.createDatabase() omitted factory.setSecurity(...) so any database created via POST /api/v1/server {"command":"create database X"} had its entire record-level authorization system silently disabled. In combination, record-level and database-level authorization could be bypassed by any authenticated principal.
### Patches Upgrade to version 26.4.2
