Description
MariaDB server is a community developed fork of MySQL server. From 10.6.1 until 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, and 13.0.2, the mysql_json plugin assumed that imported MySQL tables contained valid MySQL binary JSON data. A specially prepared MySQL table containing invalid JSON data could cause out-of-bounds reads, information disclosure, or a server crash. This issue is fixed in versions 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, and 13.0.2.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability occurs in the mysql_json plugin of MariaDB server, which incorrectly assumes that imported tables contain valid binary JSON data. A table with malformed JSON can trigger out‑of‑bounds read operations, causing sensitive data leakage or a server crash. The flaw is a classic out‑of‑bounds read (CWE‑125).

Affected Systems

Vulnerable versions include MariaDB server 10.6.1 through 10.6.27, 10.11.1 through 10.11.18, 11.4.1 through 11.4.12, 11.8.1 through 11.8.8, 12.3.1 through 12.3.2, and 13.0.1. All later releases are patched.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 4.4 the flaw is low–moderate in severity, and EPSS data is not available. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no known widespread exploitation. The attack vector requires control over the data import process; an attacker who can introduce a malformed JSON table can trigger the OOB read or a crash, affecting the particular MariaDB instance that processes the data.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest MariaDB server release that includes the fix (10.6.28 or newer, 10.11.19 or newer, 11.4.13 or newer, 11.8.9 or newer, 12.3.3 or newer, 13.0.2 or newer).
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the mysql_json plugin or limit its use to strictly validated binary JSON data only.
  • Ensure that any data imported into tables accessed by mysql_json has been sanitized and conforms to the expected binary JSON format; avoid importing from untrusted sources.
