{"id":"CVE-2026-107910","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-107910","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T01:01:33.386Z","title":"An improper authentication vulnerability in the is_authenticated function (src/bolt/bolt_api.c) in FalkorDB before 4.20.0 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute graph queries without credentials through the Bolt endpoint.","description":"An improper authentication vulnerability in the is_authenticated function (src/bolt/bolt_api.c) in FalkorDB before 4.20.0 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute graph queries without credentials through the Bolt endpoint. The function decides whether a password is required by issuing an empty AUTH command to Redis and treats only a WRONGPASS error as meaning that a password is required; any other error, such as LOADING while a dataset is being loaded, MASTERDOWN during replication failover, or OOM under memory pressure, causes the client to be treated as authenticated. Only deployments that enable the Bolt endpoint (BOLT_PORT, disabled by default) are affected.","published":"2026-10-09T06:17:12.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-15T17:17:14.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"33c584b5-0579-4c06-b2a0-8d8329fcab9c","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":9.2,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-287"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00477,"percentile":0.40917,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-09","score":0.00477,"percentile":0.39264}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.48%).
