Vulnerability in the MySQL Server product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: JSON). 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
Denial-of-service in Oracle MySQL Server's JSON component allows authenticated low-privileged network users to hang or repeatedly crash the database server across all three supported release branches (8.0.0-8.0.45, 8.4.0-8.4.8, 9.0.0-9.6.0). The flaw is classified as CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption), meaning specially crafted JSON-related queries exhaust server resources without adequate bounds checking. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified; EPSS of 0.04% at the 12th percentile and SSVC 'Exploitation: none' together confirm this is not under active threat at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in MySQL Server's JSON component - the subsystem responsible for parsing, storing, and processing JSON document types in SQL query execution. CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) identifies the root cause: the server does not adequately bound CPU or memory resources when processing certain JSON queries, allowing a crafted input to cause a hang or crash. The CVSS vector AV:N reflects that MySQL's standard protocols (TCP/IP on port 3306, and optionally named pipes or shared memory) expose this component over the network. The unchanged scope (S:U) confirms the impact is contained to the MySQL Server process itself without privilege escalation or lateral spread. CPE cpe:2.3:a:oracle_corporation:mysql_server applies to Oracle's official distribution, and downstream packaging by Red Hat and SUSE (noted in tags) means this reaches Linux enterprise environments through standard package channels.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to apply Oracle's patch released as part of the April 2026 Critical Patch Update, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2026.html. Exact fixed version numbers per branch (8.0.x, 8.4.x, 9.x) are not independently listed in the available intelligence data and must be confirmed directly from the Oracle CPU advisory. Red Hat and SUSE customers should apply updated MySQL Server packages through their respective channels (e.g., RHSA advisories, SUSE Security Updates) rather than waiting for a manual Oracle upgrade. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict low-privilege database accounts to the minimum required permissions and revoke the ability to execute JSON functions or query JSON columns for accounts that do not need them - this reduces exploitable attack surface without eliminating the flaw. Additionally, enforce network-level controls to limit MySQL port 3306 access to trusted application hosts only; note this does not protect against exploitation by already-authenticated internal users but limits opportunistic external access.
