Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network access to the MySQL Server or Cluster listener over one of its supported protocols plus a valid low-privileged account able to submit SQL (PR:L) - the flaw is in the Server: Parser component, so the attacker must be able to send crafted SQL statements to the parser. Limiting factors: authentication is required (this is not an unauthenticated flaw), so the practical risk is driven by credential exposure, broad/shared DB logins, or an application-layer SQL-injection path that reaches the parser; impact is confined to availability (hang/complete DOS), with no confidentiality or integrity consequence. Affected builds are MySQL Server 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3, 26.7.0-26.7.1 and MySQL Cluster 8.0.0-8.0.49, 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3, 26.7.0-26.7.1; instances on unaffected/patched versions are not exploitable.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity availability-only vulnerability (CVSS 3.1 6.5, A:H with C:N/I:N) in the MySQL Server/Cluster SQL parser. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only low privileges (PR:L) - i.e., any authenticated account that can submit queries - with no user interaction, which aligns with Oracle's 'easily exploitable' and 'low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols' language. The impact is strictly a hang or repeatable crash (complete DoS of the database), not data compromise or code execution. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the provided data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. Net assessment: this is a real but mid-tier priority - the low privilege bar and network vector make it exploitable by any legitimate DB user (or a compromised application account via SQL injection), but the ceiling is availability loss only. Treat it as a patch-in-normal-cycle item unless the MySQL instance is internet-exposed or shares credentials broadly, in which case prioritize. Missing signals (EPSS, POC, exploitation telemetry) mean exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified beyond the favorable CVSS exploitability metrics.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding any low-privileged MySQL account (or abusing a SQL-injection foothold in an application) connects over the network and submits a specially crafted SQL statement that the Server: Parser component mishandles, causing the mysqld process to hang or crash repeatably and taking the database offline. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis; the AV:N/AC:L/PR:L vector means the attack is low-complexity and requires only a valid login with no user interaction.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Denial of service in Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster allows a low-privileged authenticated remote attacker to hang or repeatedly crash the database by sending crafted SQL that reaches the Server: Parser component. 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 are affected. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H); no public exploit code or CISA KEV entry is identified in the provided data.

RemediationAI

Apply the fixed MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster builds identified in Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html, upgrading beyond the affected ranges: MySQL Server 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3, 26.7.0-26.7.1 and MySQL Cluster 8.0.0-8.0.49, 8.4.0-8.4.12, 9.7.0-9.7.3, 26.7.0-26.7.1. Exact patched build numbers are not stated in the provided input, so confirm the fixed version in the Oracle advisory before upgrading. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting network access to database listeners to trusted application hosts, removing or tightly scoping low-privileged accounts that can submit arbitrary SQL, enforcing query timeouts and per-account resource limits, and addressing application-layer SQL injection that could let an attacker reach the parser; these controls lower risk but do not fix the parser defect, and timeouts/resource limits can abort legitimate long-running queries.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue sits in the SQL parser within the Server: Parser component of Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster, where crafted SQL statements from an authenticated session can trigger a hang or frequently repeatable crash. No CWE class is assigned in the input data, so the precise parser defect is not further characterized, but the CVSS vector confirms network reachability, low privileges, no user interaction, and availability-only impact with no confidentiality or integrity loss. The EUVD and NVD data map the issue to MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster across the 8.0, 8.4, 9.7, and 26.7 release lines; no CPE strings were supplied, so product identification relies on the stated version ranges and Oracle advisory reference.
