CVE-2026-44221: ArcadeDB vulnerable to cross-database authorization bypass and unsecured newly-created databases

May 5, 2026 (updated August 3, 2026)

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.
