CVE-2026-114059 — ArcadeDB before 26.10.1 RCE via Gremlin Groovy Engine Missing Authorization
ArcadeDB before 26.10.1 contains a remote code execution vulnerability that allows authenticated users, including read-only reader role holders, to execute Groovy code because GremlinQueryEngine.command() lacks scripting authorization checks. Attackers can submit Gremlin commands to the POST /api/v1/command/{database} endpoint when the Groovy engine is enabled to run OS commands as the server process user.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.4% (30-day exploitation probability)+5
- Technical severity (high)+6
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (ArcadeData Arcadedb).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (access control), errors and authentication anomalies.
