Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
ArcadeDB (com.arcadedb) versions 26.7.3 and earlier fail to enforce the UPDATE_SCHEMA permission check when a DEFINE FUNCTION statement targets an already-existing function library. A user with only database access can add or overwrite SQL or Cypher functions in an existing library and persist the change, enabling tampering with admin-defined function logic. The issue is fixed in 26.8.1. (JavaScript functions still trigger the UPDATE_SECURITY check and are not affected.)
AnalysisAI
Function library integrity in ArcadeDB 26.7.3 and earlier can be silently tampered by any authenticated low-privilege database user because the UPDATE_SCHEMA permission gate is bypassed when a DEFINE FUNCTION statement targets an already-existing library rather than creating a new one. Attackers holding only basic database credentials can overwrite or inject SQL or Cypher function logic authored by administrators, poisoning business logic, data transformations, or access-control routines that depend on those functions. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid ArcadeDB database user account (PR:L confirmed by CVSS 4.0 vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 (High) with AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N correctly captures a moderately serious risk that is bounded by the PR:L requirement - exploitation demands a valid, authenticated database account. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker holding a low-privilege ArcadeDB database account - such as a shared application service credential or a compromised user account - connects to the database over the network and issues a crafted DEFINE FUNCTION statement targeting an existing SQL or Cypher library. Because the UPDATE_SCHEMA permission check is absent for this code path, the statement succeeds silently and overwrites an admin-authored function - for example, replacing a data-validation or access-control routine with one that bypasses checks or exfiltrates query parameters. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to ArcadeDB 26.8.1, the vendor-released patch confirmed by the security advisory at https://github.com/ArcadeData/arcadedb/security/advisories/GHSA-rv64-62hr-wv2p and the VulnCheck report at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/arcadedb-before-permission-bypass-via-define-function. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Audit all function libraries for unauthorized modifications and restrict UPDATE_SCHEMA permission to administrative accounts only. …
