CVE-2026-80346 describes a missing authorization vulnerability in StarRocks affecting legacy synchronous materialized views. The flaw exists because visitDropMaterializedViewStatement in AuthorizerStmtVisitor skips the privilege check, deferring it to execution logic. However, the execution path for legacy synchronous materialized views (stored as rollup indexes on OlapTable) never invokes any Authorizer call, unlike asynchronous materialized views which do. As a result, any authenticated user can drop a legacy synchronous materialized view in any database without holding any grants on the view, base table, or database. The drop operation is indistinguishable from an authorized one, making detection difficult. Affected code paths include AlterJobMgr.processDropMaterializedView and MaterializedViewHandler, neither of which performs authorization. This represents a significant privilege escalation risk in multi-tenant or shared StarRocks deployments.
