6.3 MEDIUM

Requires valid TLS peer credentials or cluster network foothold raising AC to High; PR:L for required transport-layer access; S:C because integrity corruption propagates to all cluster peers via replication.

DescriptionCVE.org

Arc is an open, SQL-native time-series database for telemetry. Prior to version 26.06.1, Arc Enterprise's cluster replication receiver at internal/cluster/replication/receiver.go validates only the wire-format envelope (length, opcode) of inbound messages. The MsgReplicateSync payload itself is accepted without any application-layer authentication - no HMAC, no signature, no per-message nonce. The replication stream is protected at the transport layer by TLS / mTLS, but there is no protection against application-layer message tampering or replay once a peer is on the cluster network. This is fixed in 2026.06.1. Some workarounds are available. Restrict cluster network access to known-trusted peers via strict firewall rules, audit replication logs for unexpected MsgReplicateSync traffic, and/or disable cluster mode until the fix is available.

AnalysisAI

Missing application-layer authentication in Arc Enterprise's cluster replication receiver (prior to version 2026.06.1) allows any peer with access to the cluster network to inject or replay MsgReplicateSync messages, silently corrupting replicated telemetry data across all cluster nodes. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.3 reflects high integrity impact on both the vulnerable system and subsequent cluster peers (VI:H, SI:H) with only low privilege requirements, scoped to cluster-mode deployments. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires Arc to be deployed and actively running in cluster mode - standalone Arc instances are completely unaffected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 score of 8.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:H/SA:N) captures high integrity impact across both the vulnerable node and subsequent cluster peers, with low privilege requirements and no user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary remediation is upgrading to Arc Enterprise version 2026.06.1 or later, which introduces application-layer authentication for MsgReplicateSync payloads. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: restrict cluster network access to authorized systems only and review recent audit logs for evidence of unauthorized replication messages. …
