Network-reachable listener on 27017 with no enforced authentication gives unauthenticated full CRUD, so AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N and high C/I/A; scope unchanged as impact stays within the database service.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
ArcadeDB versions before 26.8.1 fail to enforce SASL authentication on data commands in the MongoDB wire-protocol plugin. Unauthenticated attackers can issue insert, find, update, delete, and create commands against any database by connecting to port 27017 without credentials.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in ArcadeDB before 26.8.1 lets unauthenticated attackers run full CRUD operations against any database through the MongoDB wire-protocol plugin on TCP port 27017. The plugin negotiates a SASL handshake but never actually enforces it on data commands (insert, find, update, delete, create), so an attacker who can reach the port gains complete read/write access with no credentials. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The exploitable prerequisite is that the ArcadeDB MongoDB wire-protocol plugin is enabled and its listener on TCP port 27017 is reachable by the attacker; given AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N, no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default trickery beyond that plugin being active are needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority issue, not an inflated-CVSS artifact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker scans for exposed TCP port 27017, connects with a standard MongoDB driver, and skips authentication entirely because the SASL step is not enforced. They then enumerate every database on the instance and issue find commands to exfiltrate sensitive records, followed by update or delete commands to tamper with or destroy data. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to ArcadeDB 26.8.1 or later, which enforces SASL authentication on data commands in the MongoDB wire-protocol plugin; this is the primary and complete fix per the GHSA-fq9c-x968-g278 advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: implement firewall rules blocking all external access to port 27017 and restricting to whitelisted trusted IPs only; disable the MongoDB wire-protocol plugin if not essential to business operations; inventory all ArcadeDB deployments. …
