• CVE-2026-54077: 0.45% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 38.91 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact The SQL IMPORT DATABASE statement did not require administrative privileges and passed its source URL to the importer without validation. Any authenticated user with SQL command access (not only root/administrators) could therefore: - Server-Side Request Forgery (CWE-918): cause the server to issue HTTP(S) requests to arbitrary destinations, including cloud metadata endpoints (e.g. 169.254.169.254) and internal-only services, and ingest the responses as queryable records. - Arbitrary local file read (CWE-22): read local files reachable by the server process (e.g. /etc/passwd, credential files) by importing file:// paths, exposing their contents as records. The server administration endpoint (/api/v1/server) was already restricted to the root user and was not affected; the exposure was through the database SQL command/query endpoints (/api/v1/command, /api/v1/query). A related lower-severity hardening gap (CWE-776): the XML importer did not disable DTD processing, leaving…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-54077

Advisory: ArcadeDB: IMPORT DATABASE allows SSRF and arbitrary local file read by authenticated users
IDs: CVE-2026-54077, GHSA-8w86-m9h8-hvqg
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-54077 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:54 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: com.arcadedb:arcadedb-engine 26.6.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven com.arcadedb:arcadedb-engine: affected < 26.6.1; fixed in 26.6.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven com.arcadedb:arcadedb-engine: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on com.arcadedb:arcadedb-engine.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8w86-m9h8-hvqg (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-8w86-m9h8-hvqg lists affected ranges: Maven com.arcadedb:arcadedb-engine >=0 <26.6.1)
