MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold a HIGH-PRIVILEGED MySQL account (PR:H) - this is the primary limiting factor and means the flaw is reachable only by trusted administrative users or an attacker who has first compromised such credentials. The attack targets the Server's Security: Encryption component and is reachable remotely over the network via multiple supported MySQL protocols (AV:N), with low complexity once the privilege prerequisite is met (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). There are no special non-default configuration requirements named in the description, but the high-privilege gate confines realistic exploitation to insiders or post-compromise scenarios rather than anonymous internet attackers. Impact is limited strictly to availability (hang/repeatable crash); no confidentiality or integrity effect applies. |
| Impact | This is a genuine-but-moderate-priority issue, not a top-tier emergency. The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.9 (Medium) is driven entirely by availability impact (A:H, with C:N/I:N) - the only consequence is a hang or repeatable crash producing a complete denial of service of MySQL Server/Cluster. The vector shows network reachability (AV:N) and low attack complexity (AC:L), but critically requires high privileges (PR:H), meaning the attacker must already hold an administrative/high-privileged database account. That single factor sharply limits real-world exploitability: a trusted, highly-privileged insider or an attacker who has already compromised admin credentials is the realistic threat model, not an anonymous remote attacker. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. This CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV and no public exploit (POC) is referenced, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis - do not treat it as actively exploited. The signals are internally consistent (DOS-only description matches A:H/C:N/I:N and the PR:H gate matches 'high privileged attacker'); there is no conflict between the description and the vector. Bottom line: prioritize patching in regular Oracle CPU cycles rather than as an out-of-band emergency, since the privilege requirement and availability-only impact keep real-world risk modest. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already possesses a high-privileged MySQL account (e.g., a malicious insider or an actor who has stolen admin credentials) connects over the network via one of the supported protocols and issues crafted operations against the Server's encryption/security component, causing the server to hang or repeatedly crash. This yields a complete denial of service for MySQL Server/MySQL Cluster but no data disclosure or modification. No public exploit code is referenced, so exploitation would require the attacker to independently develop the trigger. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Denial of service in Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster 26.7.0-26.7.1 lets a high-privileged, network-positioned user trigger hangs or repeatable crashes in the Server: Security: Encryption component. The flaw is remotely reachable via multiple MySQL protocols with low attack complexity once the attacker already holds an administrative MySQL account, and it affects availability only (CVSS 3.1 4.9, A:H). No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the high-privilege prerequisite confines practical risk to trusted insiders or post-compromise scenarios.
RemediationAI
Apply the MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster update from Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update advisory (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html); the provided data does not state an exact patched version, so confirm the fixed 26.7.x release in the advisory before upgrading. Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting network access to MySQL ports to trusted hosts, removing or tightly limiting high-privileged accounts that are not required, and monitoring for repeated server crashes or hangs in the encryption component; these controls lower reachability and insider risk but do not remove the defect. Because exploitation requires an existing high-privileged account, credential compromise detection and least-privilege review are the most direct compensating measures.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue sits in Oracle MySQL's Server: Security: Encryption component, which handles encryption-related server operations, and is reported against both MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster 26.7.0-26.7.1. The provided data does not assign a CWE or disclose the specific faulty function, so the root cause should be treated as an implementation defect in encryption handling that can be driven to a hang or repeatable crash. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H shows the attack surface is network-reachable and low-complexity after authentication, but gated by high privileges; there is no confidentiality or integrity impact and no user interaction. EUVD lists the same affected MySQL Cluster and MySQL Server ranges.
