Impact
A vulnerability in the Replication component of Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster can be exploited by a high privileged attacker with network access. The flaw allows the attacker to induce a server hang or complete crash that repeatedly restarts services, effectively denying availability of the affected database system. This issue represents a broken access control weakness (CWE-284) and a resource exhaustion denial of service flaw (CWE-400). The impact is limited to availability; there is no disclosed compromise of confidentiality or integrity from the available information.
Affected Systems
Oracle MySQL Server versions 8.4.0‑8.4.12, 9.7.0‑9.7.3, and 26.7.0‑26.7.1; MySQL Cluster versions 8.0.0‑8.0.49, 8.4.0‑8.4.12, 9.7.0‑9.7.3, and 26.7.0‑26.7.1 are listed as affected. All affected instances expose multiple network protocols used for replication, which provide the necessary attack surface.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 4.9 indicates a moderate risk level. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), the attacker only needs network access and elevated privileges, which are often present in database administrators or compromised local users. Successful exploitation results in a denial of service that could disrupt business processes reliant on the database cluster or server.
