MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated ArcadeDB account (PR:L) with the ability to invoke the IMPORT DATABASE statement or server commands that fetch a remote URL. The attacker must supply a hostname resolving to an IPv6 transition address - NAT64, 6to4, or Teredo - encoding an RFC 1918 or loopback IPv4 target, which the pre-26.9.1 SSRF guard fails to validate. Meaningful impact depends on the deployment having reachable internal services or, most significantly, a cloud instance metadata endpoint (e.g., 169.254.169.254) accessible from the ArcadeDB host. Limiting factors: valid credentials are required (not unauthenticated), the URL-fetching command must be permitted for the account, and the internal targets must actually exist and be network-reachable from the server. |
| Impact | This is a moderate, credentialed SSRF (CWE-918) that should be treated as a medium priority rather than an urgent one. The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N, score 5.3) is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable but requiring authentication (PR:L) and low complexity, with impact modeled primarily on subsequent internal systems (SC:L/SI:L/SA:L) rather than the ArcadeDB host itself (VC:N/VI:L/VA:N). No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are present in the provided data, so the real-world exploitation signal is weak - exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The signals do not conflict: a low/absent exploitation probability aligns with a bug that requires valid credentials and a specific fetch-triggering command. The main risk amplifier not captured by the base score is the explicit mention of cloud metadata endpoints - in a cloud deployment, SSRF to a metadata service can yield IAM credentials, which would elevate real confidentiality impact well beyond the vendor's VC:N. That environmental factor, not the base metric, is what defenders should weigh. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated ArcadeDB user issues an IMPORT DATABASE or server command pointing at a URL whose hostname resolves to an IPv6 transition address (NAT64, 6to4, or Teredo) that embeds an RFC 1918 or loopback IPv4 payload, bypassing the SSRF guard. The server then connects to an internal service or the cloud metadata endpoint (e.g., 169.254.169.254) on the attacker's behalf, potentially exposing internal APIs or instance credentials. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, though the bypass technique is well-documented. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 18, 2026
Server-side request forgery in ArcadeDB versions before 26.9.1 allows an authenticated user to bypass the built-in SSRF guard by supplying hostnames that resolve to IPv6 transition addresses (NAT64, 6to4, or Teredo) which embed RFC 1918 or loopback IPv4 targets, causing IMPORT DATABASE and server commands to fetch internal-only resources on the attacker's behalf. Exploitation requires valid credentials and permission to invoke the URL-fetching command, and meaningful impact depends on reachable internal services - most notably a cloud instance metadata endpoint such as 169.254.169.254 - being network-accessible from the ArcadeDB host; the assessed vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) reflects low confidentiality and integrity impact with a scope change and no availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and there is no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV); the vendor advisory notes that patches are available, making this a medium-priority credentialed issue rather than an urgent one.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade ArcadeDB to 26.9.1 or later, which adds validation of NAT64, 6to4, and Teredo address forms to the SSRF guard; see the vendor advisory at https://github.com/ArcadeData/arcadedb/security/advisories/GHSA-67m7-7w7g-mpmh and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/arcadedb-before-26.9.1-ssrf-via-ipv6-transition-addresses for details. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict the IMPORT DATABASE privilege and any server command capable of fetching a remote URL to fully trusted administrative accounts only, accepting the trade-off that this breaks legitimate data-import workflows for other roles; block outbound traffic from ArcadeDB hosts to IPv6 transitional prefixes (64:ff9b::/96, 2002::/16, 2001::/32) and, more importantly, to link-local and RFC 1918 ranges at the egress firewall, understanding that egress filtering can break unrelated integrations the instance legitimately relies on. Additionally, harden cloud metadata access - require IMDSv2 with token-based session authentication and a hop limit of 1 on AWS, or disable legacy metadata endpoints on other providers - as a compensating control that reduces the value of a successful bypass even though it does not fix the code flaw. Detection should focus on outbound connections from the ArcadeDB process to IPv6 transition addresses or to 169.254.169.254, since the described attack requires an authenticated account and would otherwise leave no unusual authentication trail.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery): ArcadeDB's pre-26.9.1 guard inspects user-supplied URLs for private, loopback, and link-local destinations but evaluates only the literal or directly resolved IPv4 form, so it never accounts for IPv6 transition and translation mechanisms that tunnel an IPv4 address inside an IPv6 address. NAT64 (RFC 6052, typically the 64:ff9b::/96 well-known prefix), 6to4 (RFC 3056, 2002::/16), and Teredo (RFC 4380, 2001::/32) all embed an IPv4 address in the low-order bits, so a request to, for example, a 64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe or 2002:a9fe:a9fe:: style address is routed by the host's networking stack to the encoded IPv4 destination - including 169.254.169.254 (cloud instance metadata), 127.0.0.1, or 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16 services. Because the guard's denylist never normalizes these transitional prefixes, the SSRF check passes while the actual connection lands on the internal target. The affected product is captured by CPE cpe:2.3:a:arcadedata:arcadedb:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (all builds prior to the 26.9.1 fix), and the vulnerable surface is the URL-fetching logic shared by the IMPORT DATABASE statement and administrative server commands. The relevant metadata endpoints are link-local, which is precisely the class of address the broken guard was intended to block.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
ArcadeDB versions before 26.9.1 fail to validate IPv6 transition addresses in the SSRF guard used by IMPORT DATABASE and server commands. Authenticated attackers can supply URLs resolving to NAT64, 6to4, or Teredo addresses embedding RFC 1918 or loopback IPv4 payloads to reach internal services and cloud metadata endpoints.
