Technical details
The SQL 'IMPORT DATABASE' statement in ArcadeDB failed to validate source URLs and did not require administrative privileges. An authenticated attacker with SQL command access can provide a 'file://' URI to read arbitrary local files (such as /etc/passwd) or an 'http(s)://' URI to perform SSRF against internal services or cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., 169.254.169.254). The vulnerability exists in the SourceDiscovery.java component. Additionally, the XML importer was found to be vulnerable to XML Entity Expansion (Billion Laughs) attacks due to enabled DTD processing. These issues are resolved in version 26.6.1 by requiring 'updateSecurity' permissions for imports and implementing a host/path allow-list.
