CVE-2026-108710
Description
A flaw was found in NornicDB. An authorization bypass vulnerability allows an authenticated user to circumvent per-database read restrictions through search and similarity endpoints. By submitting search queries or specific node identifiers, a user who is otherwise restricted from reading database records can retrieve unauthorized data, including node identifiers, labels, and property maps.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate impact because exploitation is restricted to read-only information exposure and requires valid authenticated credentials, preventing unauthenticated access, system tampering, or service disruption. NornicDB is not distributed, packaged, or supported across Red Hat product offerings. Consequently, standard Red Hat enterprise environments are unaffected by this flaw.
