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 targets the MySQL Server 'Server: Replication' subsystem, so a deployment using/exposing replication is the realistic precondition. Two concrete limiting factors reduce feasibility: (1) Oracle rates it 'difficult to exploit' (AC:H), implying non-trivial, specific conditions or timing rather than a simple single-shot request; and (2) success requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker (UI:R) - e.g., an operator or client initiating/accepting a crafted replication interaction. No authentication is required (PR:N), and it is reachable over the network via multiple protocols, but the AC:H + UI:R combination means default, un-interacted-with configurations are not trivially exploitable remotely. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely impactful but hard-to-exploit flaw. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 7.5) shows network reachability and no authentication (PR:N), which raises concern, but two strong mitigating signals pull real-world risk down: high attack complexity (AC:H, described by Oracle as 'difficult to exploit') and required user interaction from a person other than the attacker (UI:R). The impact is severe - Oracle states successful attacks result in full 'takeover' of MySQL Server/Cluster, consistent with C:H/I:H/A:H. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The combination of AC:H + UI:R plus the absence of exploitation evidence means this is unlikely to see opportunistic mass exploitation despite the high CVSS; it is better treated as a 'patch in the normal Oracle CPU cycle' item than an emergency. CONFLICTING SIGNAL: the input Tag 'Information Disclosure' contradicts Oracle's own description, which explicitly describes full takeover with High integrity and availability impact, not mere disclosure - treat the takeover characterization as authoritative. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker abuses a flaw in the MySQL Server replication component, but exploitation is difficult and hinges on a legitimate operator or user (someone other than the attacker) performing a triggering action - for example initiating or accepting a crafted replication connection/stream. If the complex preconditions are met, the attacker achieves full compromise of the MySQL Server or Cluster node. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Takeover of MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster is possible for unauthenticated network attackers able to reach the Server: Replication component, but Oracle rates the flaw difficult to exploit and success requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Affected releases are 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. CVSS 3.1 scores it 7.5 with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV entry appears in the provided intelligence.
RemediationAI
Patch status is patch available per vendor advisory: apply the Oracle Critical Patch Update (October 2026) build for MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster, using the advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html as the reference; the provided data does not enumerate exact fixed version numbers, so confirm the corrected build in the CPU advisory or My Oracle Support before scheduling the upgrade, and stage the upgrade against replication topologies because rolling restarts can stall applier threads. Until patched, shrink the replication attack surface: restrict network access to the MySQL listener, X Protocol and cluster data/management ports so only known source, replica and data-node hosts can connect, using host firewalls or security groups - trade-off: tight ACLs complicate failover, cross-region replication and topology changes and must be updated in lockstep with node changes. Require TLS with client-certificate verification for replication accounts and rotate any account holding REPLICATION SLAVE or REPLICATION CLIENT - trade-off: certificate lifecycle management adds operational overhead and misconfigured certs will break replication. Where replication or Group Replication is not required, disable it entirely and drop replication-privileged accounts - trade-off: loss of high availability and read scaling. Because UI:R is a prerequisite, enforce change control and alerting on replication topology events such as CHANGE REPLICATION SOURCE TO, START REPLICA and group membership changes so operator-initiated interactions are reviewed; this is detective only, not preventive. Supplement with auditing of replication account usage and anomaly monitoring on replication traffic for indications of unexpected source connections.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The defect sits in Oracle MySQL's Server: Replication subsystem, the component that streams binary-log events between sources and replicas and underpins classic asynchronous/semi-synchronous replication, GTID-based failover and, in MySQL Cluster/NDB deployments, the data-node and management-node synchronization paths. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H is significant: reachability is network-based over multiple protocols and no credentials are needed (PR:N), yet Oracle explicitly calls the issue difficult to exploit (AC:H), implying a narrow race, timing dependency or specific replication-state precondition rather than a single crafted packet, and success requires interaction from a person other than the attacker (UI:R), consistent with an operator, client tool or peer node initiating or accepting a crafted replication interaction. No CWE identifier was assigned in the available data, so the root-cause class is not formally characterized; CPE strings were also absent, meaning product identification rests on Oracle and ENISA EUVD version ranges. The practical precondition is a deployment that uses or exposes replication - a standalone instance with replication disabled presents little attack surface for this flaw.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: Replication). Supported versions that are affected are MySQL Server: 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3, 26.7.0-26.7.1; 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. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster deployments in affected release ranges carry a high-severity flaw that could allow takeover of database services, threatening data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit or CISA KEV entry is identified, and exploitation is described as difficult with human interaction, but unpatched database estates remain a material risk until vendor fixes are available.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; restrict network access to the MySQL Server/Cluster replication component to trusted hosts, disable replication where not operationally required, segment database tiers, monitor replication traffic and configuration changes, and apply Oracle workarounds when published.
