CVE-2026-75842: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in ArcadeData arcadedb
ArcadeDB versions before 26.8.1 contain an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the OpenCypher LOAD CSV FROM clause that allows authenticated users to read local files. Attackers with read query privileges can use the file:// protocol in LOAD CSV statements to access arbitrary files with server process privileges, exfiltrating sensitive data directly in query responses.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-75842 is an arbitrary file read vulnerability in ArcadeDB before version 26.8.1. It arises from improper limitation of pathnames in the OpenCypher LOAD CSV FROM clause, allowing authenticated users with read query privileges to use the file:// protocol to read arbitrary files on the server. This can result in exfiltration of sensitive data with the permissions of the database server process. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.3 (high severity). No official patch or remediation level has been provided yet, and no known exploits in the wild are reported.
Potential Impact
Authenticated users with read query privileges can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the server hosting ArcadeDB. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information accessible to the server process. The impact is high due to the ability to exfiltrate data directly through query responses.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict read query privileges to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious use of the LOAD CSV FROM clause with file:// protocol.
