CVE-2026-67341 ArcadeData CVE debrief
ArcadeDB versions before 26.7.2 are vulnerable to an authorization bypass due to a failure in enforcing scripting authorization checks on SQL DEFINE FUNCTION statements with LANGUAGE js. This allows attackers with database access to execute arbitrary JavaScript code, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution and data breaches. The CVE record was published on 2026-08-01T13:17:05.273Z and has not been modified since then. Administrators and users should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to mitigate it, including updating to the latest version and restricting database access to trusted users.

Who should care
Administrators and users of ArcadeDB versions before 26.7.2 should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to mitigate it. This includes updating to the latest version and restricting database access to trusted users. Security teams should prioritize this update and monitor for suspicious activity related to DEFINE FUNCTION statements.
Technical summary
ArcadeDB versions before 26.7.2 fail to enforce scripting authorization checks on SQL DEFINE FUNCTION statements with LANGUAGE js, allowing attackers with database access to execute arbitrary JavaScript code. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized code execution and potential data breaches. It is crucial to update to version 26.7.2 or later to address this issue. The vulnerability affects database systems where untrusted users have access, and exploitation could result in significant impact on data integrity and system security.
Defensive priority
Administrators should prioritize updating ArcadeDB to version 26.7.2 or later to address the authorization bypass vulnerability.
Recommended defensive actions
- Update ArcadeDB to version 26.7.2 or later
- Restrict database access to trusted users
- Monitor for suspicious DEFINE FUNCTION statements
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
- Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
Evidence notes
Evidence is limited; verify affected versions and scope with vendor documentation and inventory checks. Check for any additional information from reliable sources regarding the vulnerability in ArcadeDB versions before 26.7.2. Ensure thorough validation of system configurations and update procedures.
