Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated session holding HIGH MySQL privileges (CVSS PR:H) against an affected version - MySQL Server 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3, or 26.7.0-26.7.1, or MySQL Cluster 8.0.0-8.0.49, 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3, or 26.7.0-26.7.1 - reachable over the network via one of MySQL's supported protocols. No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L) once privileged. The decisive limiting factor is the high-privilege prerequisite: the attacker must already be a trusted/privileged database account, so risk concentrates in multi-tenant or shared-DBA environments where high-privilege access is delegated to untrusted parties. The only impact is availability (database hang or repeatable crash); no confidentiality or integrity effect applies.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity, availability-only vulnerability that scores CVSS 3.1 4.9 (vendor-assigned via Oracle's October 2026 CPU). The vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H tells a clear and self-consistent story: network-reachable and low-complexity, but gated behind PR:H - the attacker must already hold high database privileges. Impact is confined to availability (C:N/I:N), producing a hang or repeatable crash (complete DoS of the database instance) with no data disclosure or integrity loss. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the intelligence set, and the only reference is Oracle's CPU advisory plus the NVD mirror. Weighing these signals together, this is NOT a drop-everything priority: the PR:H requirement means the actor is effectively a malicious or compromised privileged account, which sharply narrows the realistic threat population and makes mass, unauthenticated exploitation impossible. The description's 'easily exploitable' phrasing (Oracle boilerplate) refers to low attack complexity once privileged, and should not be read as low barrier to entry - the privilege prerequisite is the dominant limiting factor. Treat this as a routine patch-cycle item rather than an emergency, higher where untrusted users hold legitimate high-privilege MySQL accounts.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A user who already holds high MySQL privileges (e.g., a tenant DBA on a shared/multi-tenant database, or an attacker who has compromised such an account) connects over the network via a supported protocol and issues a crafted request that drives the InnoDB engine into a hang or repeatable crash, taking the server offline for all other users. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and because confidentiality and integrity are untouched the attacker gains only denial of service, not data access.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Denial of service in MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster allows a high-privileged authenticated attacker with network access to trigger a hang or frequently repeatable crash in the InnoDB component, affecting availability only. The issue is rated CVSS 3.1 4.9 and applies to MySQL Server 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3, and 26.7.0-26.7.1, plus MySQL Cluster 8.0.0-8.0.49, 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3, and 26.7.0-26.7.1. Exploitation requires an already privileged database account, so risk is concentrated in shared-DBA or multi-tenant environments; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: apply the MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster fixes published in Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html, confirming the corrected release for the applicable 8.4.x, 9.7.x, or 26.7.x Server branch and 8.0.x, 8.4.x, 9.7.x, or 26.7.x Cluster branch because the input does not provide an exact fixed build number. Until patching is complete, reduce exposure by restricting network access to MySQL listener ports to trusted application and administration networks, with the trade-off that legitimate remote clients must be re-homed or proxied; remove or tightly scope unnecessary HIGH-privilege accounts, with the trade-off that DBA workflows and automation may need role redesign; and monitor for repeated crash/restart patterns so a privileged misuse can be detected quickly. These are compensating controls only and do not replace the vendor update.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected technology is Oracle MySQL's InnoDB storage engine, reachable over the network through MySQL's supported protocols. The provided data does not assign a CWE, so the precise defect class is not disclosed; operationally, the flaw lets a user who already holds HIGH MySQL privileges drive the server into a hang or repeatable crash, with no confidentiality or integrity impact. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H confirms that the decisive barrier is the high-privilege prerequisite rather than network reachability or attack complexity. No CPE strings were supplied, but the affected version ranges cover MySQL Server 8.4.x, 9.7.x, and 26.7.x and MySQL Cluster 8.0.x, 8.4.x, 9.7.x, and 26.7.x. Because only availability is affected, the primary concern is service interruption and repeated restart cycles rather than data exposure or modification.
