Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated low-privileged account (CVSS PR:L) with network access to the MySQL Router over HTTPS, affecting MySQL Router version 26.7.0 specifically. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L), but the mandatory pre-existing low-privilege credential is the key limiting factor that prevents anonymous remote exploitation. Impact is confined to unauthorized read access to a subset of MySQL Router-accessible data (C:L), with no write/integrity or availability effect, so the realistic risk is limited information disclosure rather than full compromise.

Impact

This is a low-to-moderate severity issue that does not represent an urgent priority. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, meaning network-reachable over HTTPS and low attack complexity, but it requires an authenticated low-privileged account (PR:L) and yields only limited confidentiality impact (C:L) with no integrity or availability impact. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV and no public proof-of-concept was identified, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or weaponization. Notably, the 'Authentication Bypass' tag CONFLICTS with the CVSS vector and description: PR:L and 'low privileged attacker' indicate the attacker must already be authenticated and the impact is read access to a subset of data - not an authentication bypass. Treat that tag as likely mislabeled rather than as evidence of a credential-bypass flaw. Overall this is a genuine but bounded information-disclosure bug; patch in normal Oracle Critical Patch Update cycles rather than as an emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds a low-privileged account with network access to the MySQL Router management/HTTPS interface sends crafted requests that cause the Router to disclose a subset of accessible data it should not expose. Low attack complexity means the request is reliable once access and credentials are held, but no public exploit code is known and impact is limited to confidentiality of a data subset. No privilege escalation, data modification, or service disruption results.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Authenticated low-privileged users with HTTPS access to MySQL Router 26.7.0 can read a subset of the data the Router exposes, resulting in limited information disclosure rated CVSS 4.3 (confidentiality-only). The requirement for a pre-existing low-privilege credential (PR:L) is the key limiting factor and prevents anonymous remote exploitation, and there is no public exploit code identified at time of analysis. Risk is low-to-moderate and does not represent an urgent priority outside environments where Router management interfaces are broadly network-exposed.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the MySQL Router build published in the Oracle Critical Patch Update for October 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html), which is the only vendor-sanctioned fix for the 26.7.0 exposure; because Oracle CPU patches are cumulative, upgrade to the CPU-posted Router release rather than attempting a partial component swap. Until patching is complete, restrict network reachability of the Router's HTTPS management/REST endpoint to trusted application and administration networks via firewall or security-group rules, accepting that this may break legitimate remote management and monitoring tooling. Additionally, inventory and reduce low-privilege accounts that can authenticate to the Router's HTTPS interface and rotate their credentials, since a valid low-privilege login is the sole prerequisite for exploitation; this has an operational cost in reconfiguring dependent applications but shrinks the attacker pool. Log and alert on unusual read patterns against the Router REST interface to detect post-patch probing.

Technical ContextAI · show details

MySQL Router is Oracle's lightweight middle-tier proxy that sits between client applications and InnoDB Cluster/ReplicaSet backends, handling connection routing, read/write splitting, and failover; it also exposes an HTTPS-based management and REST interface used for bootstrap, metadata and runtime status queries. The flaw resides in the 'Router: General' component and is best characterized as an authorization/access-control weakness in that HTTPS interface (Oracle assigned no CWE), where a low-privileged authenticated principal can retrieve data beyond its intended scope. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring no user interaction, scoped to a single security authority, with impact confined to partial confidentiality loss and no integrity or availability effect. No CPE strings were supplied beyond the EUVD affected-version data, which pins the issue to MySQL Router 26.7.0 only.
