Technical details
The vulnerability is a missing authorization enforcement (CWE-862) in ArcadeDB's batch and time-series HTTP request handlers. The root cause is that while checkAuthorizationOnDatabase validates coarse database-level access, it does not bind the authenticated principal (setCurrentUser) on the worker thread. As a result, the engine's fine-grained per-type ACL layer (LocalBucket.checkPermissionsOnFile) cannot execute and returns early when the bound user is null, allowing per-type authorization checks to be bypassed. An authenticated attacker with database access but restricted per-type permissions can submit requests to /api/v1/batch or time-series endpoints to read from or write to types they are not authorized to access. The vulnerability requires low privileges (valid database user) and high attack complexity (knowledge of type names and API structure) but has no network complexity barriers. Patches are available in ArcadeDB 26.8.1 and later.
