Description
ArcadeDB before 26.8.1 fails to bind the authenticated principal on the gRPC transaction executor thread in beginTransaction, allowing authenticated readers to execute JavaScript commands without scripting authorization checks. Attackers can execute executeCommand with a transaction ID to run unrestricted JavaScript that creates server-wide administrator accounts.
