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

ScriptTriggerExecutor sets allowedPackages to java.lang., java.util., java.time., java.math. (ScriptTriggerExecutor.java:56); trigger creation is gated only at UPDATE_SCHEMA (LocalSchema.createTrigger:636). Permitting java.lang.* host-class lookup lets a trigger script do Java.type("java.lang.Runtime").getRuntime().exec(...) (or ProcessBuilder). The reflection denylist does not block Java.type host lookups, and allowCreateProcess(false) only restricts GraalVM's guest process API, not a host Runtime.exec reached through HostAccess.ALL.

Exploit: a user with UPDATE_SCHEMA (schema admin, strictly less than security admin) runs CREATE TRIGGER ... EXECUTE JAVASCRIPT '<runtime.exec>' and obtains OS RCE when the trigger fires.

Fix: remove java.lang.* (and narrow the rest) from the trigger allow-list; if host interop is needed, expose an explicit @HostAccess.Export API surface instead of whole packages; consider gating trigger creation at UPDATE_SECURITY. Prefer an allow-list (HostAccess.EXPLICIT) over the current denylist-over-HostAccess.ALL.

Related medium/low items to fold into the fix: IMPORT DATABASE SSRF via unfollowed-redirect re-validation (SourceDiscovery.java:113), BACKUP/EXPORT DATABASE missing authorization (BackupDatabaseStatement.java:56, ExportDatabaseStatement.java:52), chunked-transfer body-size DoS bypass (HttpServer.java:301,318-333), and no brute-force lockout on password auth (ServerSecurity.java:189-205).

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.arcadedb:arcadedb-engine. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    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-x9f9-r4m8-9xc2 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-x9f9-r4m8-9xc2 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-x9f9-r4m8-9xc2. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.

Is GHSA-x9f9-r4m8-9xc2 in your dependencies?

O3 detects GHSA-x9f9-r4m8-9xc2 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
