CVE-2026-54077 Details
Description
ArcadeDB is a Multi-Model DBMS. Prior to 26.6.1, the IMPORT DATABASE statement in engine/src/main/java/com/arcadedb/query/sql/parser/ImportDatabaseStatement.java did not require administrative privileges and passed its source to integration/src/main/java/com/arcadedb/integration/importer/SourceDiscovery.java without validation. An authenticated user with SQL command access through /api/v1/command or /api/v1/query can supply HTTP or HTTPS destinations to make server-side requests to internal services, or file:// paths to read files accessible to the server process and ingest the results as queryable records. The XML importer also permits DTD processing and external entities, enabling entity expansion. The root-only /api/v1/server administration endpoint is not affected. The fix requires updateSecurity permission, blocks local-network import destinations by default through arcadedb.server.security.importBlockLocalNetworks, supports the arcadedb.server.security.importAllowedLocalPaths file allow-list, and disables XML DTD processing and external entities. This issue is fixed in version 26.6.1.
A vulnerability in ArcadeDB's `IMPORT DATABASE` SQL command prior to version 26.6.1 allows authenticated users to perform server-side request forgery (SSRF) and arbitrary local file reads. The command did not require administrative privileges and passed import sources to the server without validation. This flaw could be exploited by any authenticated user with access to the SQL command or query APIs.
Users should upgrade to ArcadeDB version 26.6.1 or later, which addresses the vulnerability by requiring administrative privileges for the `IMPORT DATABASE` command, validating import sources to block local network destinations by default, and disabling DTD processing and external entity access in the XML importer.
