CVE-2025-46580
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThere is a code-related vulnerability in the GoldenDB database product. Attackers can access system tables to disrupt the normal operation of business SQL.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceGoldenDB has an authorization vulnerability allowing attackers to bypass normal access controls and access system tables. This enables disruption of business SQL operations by manipulating metadata that the database relies upon for query processing.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed GoldenDB versionQuery the GoldenDB version using the database client or check the installation manifest. Common methods include running 'SELECT VERSION();' or checking the GoldenDB installation directory for version files.Affected if The installed version falls within the range >= 6.1.03 and < 6.1.03.11
-
Verify business user access to system tablesAttempt to query system tables using a business user account (non-admin). Try commands like 'SELECT * FROM mysql.user' or 'SHOW DATABASES;' as a standard business user.Affected if Business users can successfully read or modify system tables they should not have access to
-
Review role-based access control configurationCheck the RBAC configuration files or settings that define permissions for business user roles. Look for entries that grant SELECT or other privileges on system databases or tables.Affected if RBAC configuration grants system table access to business user roles that should only have business data access
-
Audit user privilege assignmentsQuery the actual privileges assigned to business user accounts using 'SHOW GRANTS FOR user;' or equivalent privilege review commands in GoldenDB.Affected if Business users have been granted privileges on system tables or system databases beyond what their role requires
A user is affected if their GoldenDB version is 6.1.03 through 6.1.03.10 and business user accounts can access system tables due to insufficient authorization controls.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped6.1.03.11
Apply vendor patches for GoldenDB and review role-based access control configurations to ensure business users cannot access system tables.
6.1.03.11
- Verify current GoldenDB version using: SELECT VERSION() or check system tables
- Schedule maintenance window for upgrade procedure
- Backup all critical business data and system tables
- Upgrade GoldenDB from current version to version 6.1.03.11 or later
- After upgrade, verify system tables are properly protected and business SQL operations function normally
- Monitor system logs for any unauthorized access attempts to system tables
