2.3. Authentication and security

The security database (namely security.fdb) is not used
in the embedded server and hence is not required. Any
user is able to attach to any database. Since both
the server and the client run in the same address space,
the security becomes just an agreement between both
sides which can be easily compromised.

But note that SQL privileges are still checked.
