How severe is GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g?

GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g affects the following packages: com.arcadedb:arcadedb-engine (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g?

Update com.arcadedb:arcadedb-engine to 26.7.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.arcadedb:arcadedb-engine, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Restrict outbound requests from the affected component to an allowlist of hosts, block access to link-local and internal address ranges at the network layer, and require authentication on internal services so a forged request cannot reach them unauthenticated.

Is GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g?

GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 45th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g?

GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g is classified as CWE-863 (CWE-863). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-vwjc-v7x7-cm6g was published on July 16, 2026 and was last updated on August 2, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Exploitation Status

No confirmed exploitation observed yet

CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

The GHSA-48qw-824m-86pr hardening added a checkPermissionsOnDatabase(UPDATE_SECURITY) gate on the polyglot engine (PolyglotQueryEngine.java:112-114,126,176,199), but only there. The SQL route to JavaScript never touches it: DefineFunctionStatement.executeSimple (DefineFunctionStatement.java:37-100), LocalSchema.registerFunctionLibrary, and SQLQueryEngine library-function invocation (SQLQueryEngine.java:198-224) do no scripting-permission check.

Exploit: any user authorized for the DB (including a read-only role) runs POST /api/v1/command/<db> {"language":"sql","command":"DEFINE FUNCTION x.run "<js>" LANGUAGE js"} then SELECT x.run(), executing arbitrary JavaScript and defeating the control meant to restrict scripting to security admins. On this path allowedPackages is empty so Java.type host lookup and reflection are blocked, but IOAccess.ALL still permits load(url) SSRF/remote-JS inclusion and unbounded CPU/memory DoS.

Fix: gate DefineFunctionStatement.executeSimple, the SQLQueryEngine library-function wrapper (to also cover pre-existing libraries), and DeleteFunctionStatement with UPDATE_SECURITY for js/polyglot languages. Centralize as one assertCanExecuteUserCode(database) invoked by every code-execution surface. Also set IOAccess.NONE / PolyglotAccess.NONE on the Context (GraalPolyglotEngine.java:86,91).
