CVE-2026-107910 Details
Description
An improper authentication vulnerability in the is_authenticated function (src/bolt/bolt_api.c) in FalkorDB before 4.20.0 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute graph queries without credentials through the Bolt endpoint. The function decides whether a password is required by issuing an empty AUTH command to Redis and treats only a WRONGPASS error as meaning that a password is required; any other error, such as LOADING while a dataset is being loaded, MASTERDOWN during replication failover, or OOM under memory pressure, causes the client to be treated as authenticated. Only deployments that enable the Bolt endpoint (BOLT_PORT, disabled by default) are affected.
A vulnerability exists in FalkorDB versions prior to 4.20.0, specifically within the 'is_authenticated' function of the Bolt API. This vulnerability allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute graph queries through the Bolt endpoint without needing credentials. The issue arises because the authentication function incorrectly interprets certain Redis error responses. Only deployments with the Bolt endpoint enabled are affected.
Users can upgrade to FalkorDB version 4.20.0 or later to address this vulnerability.
