Impact
The vulnerability resides in the Replication component of Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach the database over the network can trigger a critical flaw that allows them to create, delete, or modify data within the system. The same flaw can also cause the database to hang or crash repeatedly, leading to a denial of service. The CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.4 reflects significant impacts to integrity and availability, with minimal impact to confidentiality.
Affected Systems
The issue affects Oracle MySQL Server versions 8.4.0 to 8.4.12, 9.7.0 to 9.7.3, and 26.7.0 to 26.7.1, as well as MySQL Cluster versions 8.0.0 to 8.0.49, 8.4.0 to 8.4.12, 9.7.0 to 9.7.3, and 26.7.0 to 26.7.1. Only the affected releases listed are vulnerable; later releases are assumed to be fixed.
Risk and Exploitability
The vulnerability is exploitable remotely without authentication and via multiple network protocols, allowing an attacker who can access the replication interfaces to manipulate data or cause a crash. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation in the wild, and it is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Still, because the flaw can be triggered by sending specially crafted replication traffic over the network, it poses a serious potential impact on integrity and availability should the system remain unpatched.
