Unauthorised Database Access in Apache CouchDB

Publication date: 2026-10-20

Last updated on: 2026-10-20

Assigner: Apache Software Foundation

Description
Missing authorisation checks in chttpd in Apache CouchDB 3.5.2 and below on all platforms allows any request to read the full contents of a prefixed _user or _replicator database via an unauthorised API endpoint. The use of prefixed system databases is very rare. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.5.3, which fixes this issue.
