Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Group Replication Plugin). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.0-8.0.45, 8.4.0-8.4.8 and 9.0.0-9.6.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
AnalysisAI
Uncontrolled resource consumption in Oracle MySQL Server's Group Replication Plugin allows a low-privileged authenticated network attacker to cause a complete denial of service - server hang or repeatable crash - across three major release lines (8.0.x, 8.4.x, and 9.x). The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 with network attack vector and low attack complexity, though real-world exploitation pressure is minimal: EPSS sits at 0.04% (12th percentile), SSVC marks exploitation status as none and the attack as non-automatable, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. Oracle has released a patch via the April 2026 Critical Patch Update.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the MySQL Group Replication Plugin, a built-in MySQL high-availability mechanism enabling multi-primary or single-primary replication topologies over standard MySQL network protocols (TCP/IP, SSL). CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) identifies the root cause as the plugin's failure to enforce bounds on resource usage - CPU cycles, memory, or connection state - when processing certain protocol-level inputs, allowing an attacker to exhaust server resources until the process hangs or crashes. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:mysql_server:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) spans Oracle-distributed MySQL packages, and downstream Red Hat and SUSE Linux distributions that package MySQL are also affected per advisory tags, meaning the exposure extends beyond Oracle's own releases to a broad enterprise Linux ecosystem.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is upgrading to a fixed MySQL Server version beyond the affected ranges by applying Oracle's April 2026 Critical Patch Update, referenced at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2026.html. Exact target version numbers are not stated in the available data - consult the advisory directly for the precise fixed release in each branch (8.0.x, 8.4.x, 9.x). Red Hat and SUSE users should apply OS-level package updates as their respective security advisories become available. For environments where immediate patching is infeasible, restrict network access to MySQL Group Replication ports (default TCP 33060 for MySQL X Protocol and 33061 for Group Replication GCS) using firewall rules, limiting replication traffic to trusted peer IP addresses only - this reduces the attack surface to internal hosts that already hold low-privilege credentials. Alternatively, disabling Group Replication entirely eliminates exposure but removes high-availability topology, which may be an unacceptable trade-off for production clusters. Enforcing strict account hygiene - minimizing the number of low-privilege accounts and applying strong password policies - reduces the likelihood of credential-based access needed to trigger the vulnerability.
