Exploitation Conditions

Requires network reachability to a listening MySQL Router instance running version 26.7.0; the description states exploitation is via 'multiple protocols,' so any of Router's exposed listener ports (classic MySQL protocol and/or X Protocol routing endpoints) is a viable entry point. No authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N), so default network-exposed deployments are vulnerable. The main limiting factors are network exposure (Routers restricted to trusted application subnets or firewalled from untrusted networks are far harder to reach) and the impact ceiling: this is availability-only (A:H, C:N/I:N), so the sole realistic consequence is service disruption of the routing tier, not data compromise.

Impact

This is a genuine but bounded availability risk. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) is internally consistent with the description: a remote, unauthenticated attacker over the network with low complexity can trigger a hang or repeatable crash (complete DoS) of MySQL Router, with no confidentiality or integrity impact. The 7.5 score is driven entirely by availability. However, several exploitation signals are absent: no EPSS score is provided, the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit (POC) is referenced - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The practical ceiling on impact is also important: this is availability-only, so it cannot be used for data theft, code execution, or lateral movement by itself - it degrades or interrupts database connection routing. Net assessment: a real patch-worthy issue for availability-sensitive deployments (MySQL Router sits in the data path of InnoDB Cluster/HA topologies, so a crash can sever application-to-database connectivity), but NOT an urgent emergency absent evidence of active exploitation. Prioritize behind any concurrent confidentiality/integrity or actively-exploited flaws from the same Oracle CPU.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network reachability to a MySQL Router instance sends crafted traffic over one of the protocols Router listens on, triggering a logic or parsing fault that hangs or repeatedly crashes the process. Because no authentication or user interaction is required and complexity is low, the attacker can repeat the crash to sustain a denial of service, cutting applications off from the backend MySQL cluster. No public exploit code is referenced at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Unauthenticated network attackers can cause MySQL Router 26.7.0 to hang or repeatedly crash, resulting in complete denial of service for the routing tier. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), with availability-only impact and no effect on confidentiality or integrity. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis, and exposure is reduced where Router listeners are firewalled from untrusted networks.

RemediationAI

The provided data does not specify an exact fixed version, so patch availability was not confirmed from the supplied information; consult Oracle's October 2026 Critical Patch Update advisory at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html for the authoritative MySQL Router fixed release and upgrade instructions. Until a patched version is validated, restrict network access to all MySQL Router listener ports, including classic MySQL protocol and X Protocol routing endpoints, to trusted application subnets using firewall rules or security groups; this reduces reachability but does not fix the underlying crash condition and can break legitimate clients if segmentation is too tight. As a temporary operational control, monitor Router availability and restart hung processes, recognizing that repeated crashes will recur while the vulnerable version remains exposed.

Technical ContextAI · show details

MySQL Router is Oracle's connection-routing middleware for MySQL InnoDB Cluster and related topologies, presenting listener endpoints that proxy client sessions using the classic MySQL protocol and the X Protocol. The CVSS vector confirms remote network reachability with no required privileges or user interaction, and the impact is availability-only (A:H), meaning successful exploitation can hang or repeatedly crash the Router process rather than expose or alter data. The description states exploitation is possible via multiple protocols, so any exposed Router listener port is a potential entry point. The CWE is not provided in the input data, so the precise implementation flaw class cannot be confirmed; the practical issue is an unauthenticated network-reachable condition in Router's general component that leads to denial of service against the routing tier.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the MySQL Router product of Oracle MySQL (component: Router: General). The supported version that is affected is 26.7.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Router. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Router. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 7.5 (Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

MySQL Router 26.7.0 can be driven into repeated hangs or crashes by unauthenticated network traffic, causing a complete denial of service for the database routing tier that dependent applications rely on. Leadership should care because the impact is availability-only-no confidentiality or integrity loss-so the priority is preventing application outages and protecting continuity rather than data-breach response. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, making network isolation and failover readiness the primary near-term defenses.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; restrict MySQL Router 26.7.0 listener access to trusted networks via firewall/security groups, segment the routing tier, enable crash/hang monitoring and HA failover, apply rate limiting or IDS/IPS where feasible, and monitor the vendor advisory for a patched release.
