MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the MySQL X Plugin be enabled and its X Protocol listener (default TCP 33060) be network-reachable by the attacker - this is the exact component named in the CVE. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication and no user interaction are needed, and Oracle states multiple protocols can be used, so against a default MySQL 8.4/9.7 install with X Plugin active there are no special preconditions beyond network reachability. What limits exploitation: instances with the X Plugin disabled (mysqlx=OFF / --skip-mysqlx) or with port 33060 firewalled from untrusted networks are not exposed, and only the specific listed versions (MySQL Server 8.4.0-8.4.10, 9.7.0-9.7.1; MySQL Cluster 8.0.0-8.0.47, 8.4.0-8.4.10, 9.7.0-9.7.1) are affected. |
| Impact | The signals are moderately consistent and point to a genuine priority for internet- or network-exposed MySQL X Protocol endpoints. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H) describes low-complexity, unauthenticated, network exploitation with high availability impact and low confidentiality impact and no integrity impact - Oracle explicitly calls it 'easily exploitable.' The dominant impact is availability (complete DoS), with only a subset of data readable, so this is primarily an uptime/reliability risk rather than a data-breach risk. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; there is no POC and no KEV listing, indicating no confirmed active exploitation. The main mitigating factor is exposure: risk is high only where the X Plugin (port 33060) is reachable by untrusted networks; databases with X Plugin disabled or firewalled off are largely unaffected in practice. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach the MySQL X Protocol port (33060) sends crafted X Plugin protocol messages without any credentials, driving the server into a hang or repeatable crash and taking the database completely offline, while also reading a limited subset of accessible data. Because attack complexity is low and no authentication or user interaction is required, this can be scripted against exposed instances; no public POC has been identified at time of analysis. |

Remote unauthenticated denial-of-service and partial information disclosure affects Oracle MySQL Server 8.4.0-8.4.10 and 9.7.0-9.7.1 (and MySQL Cluster 8.0.0-8.0.47, 8.4.0-8.4.10, 9.7.0-9.7.1) through the Server: X Plugin component. An attacker with only network access, using multiple protocols, can trigger a hang or repeatable crash (complete DoS) and read a subset of accessible data, carrying an Oracle-assigned CVSS 3.1 score of 8.2. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the fixes from Oracle's July 2026 Critical Patch Update (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html); Oracle CPUs deliver the fix in the next quarterly release above the affected ranges, so upgrade MySQL Server past 8.4.10 / 9.7.1 and MySQL Cluster past 8.0.47 / 8.4.10 / 9.7.1 to the CPU-patched versions (exact patched build numbers are enumerated in the CPU advisory and should be taken from it rather than assumed). If immediate patching is not possible, the most direct compensating control is to reduce X Plugin exposure: disable the X Plugin if the X Protocol/Document Store is not used (set mysqlx=OFF or start with --skip-mysqlx), which removes the attack surface entirely but breaks any application using X DevAPI/Document Store on port 33060; alternatively, firewall or restrict access to TCP port 33060 so only trusted application hosts can reach it, which preserves functionality for allow-listed clients while blocking untrusted network attackers. Because exploitation is unauthenticated and pre-auth, network-level restriction is the key mitigation until patched.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw resides in the MySQL X Plugin, the server component that implements the X Protocol (MySQL Document Store / X DevAPI), which by default listens on TCP port 33060 and enables NoSQL-style and asynchronous document/CRUD access to the database. The CPE data confirms two affected products from Oracle: mysql_server and mysql_cluster. Oracle publishes no CWE (CWE: N/A), but the described behavior - an unauthenticated protocol handler that can be driven into a hang/crash and made to leak a subset of data - is consistent with an input-validation or resource-handling defect in X Plugin's pre-authentication message parsing, a classic root cause for network-facing protocol front-ends.

DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster product of Oracle MySQL (component: Server: X Plugin). Supported versions that are affected are MySQL Server: 8.4.0-8.4.10, 9.7.0-9.7.1; MySQL Cluster: 8.0.0-8.0.47, 8.4.0-8.4.10 and 9.7.0-9.7.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster and unauthorized read access to a subset of MySQL Server, MySQL Cluster accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 8.2 (Confidentiality and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H).
Executive ViewAI
Oracle MySQL Server versions 8.4.0-8.4.10 and 9.7.0-9.7.1 contain a critical vulnerability in the X Plugin component that enables unauthenticated remote attackers to cause complete database service denial-of-service and access sensitive data. Organizations running these versions face operational disruption and potential data exposure, with no vendor patch currently available.
Disable MySQL X Plugin (set mysqlx=OFF in mysql.cnf) if operationally unnecessary; restrict network access to MySQL service ports (3306, 33060) via firewall rules to known, trusted application servers and administrative networks only; enable comprehensive audit logging for database connection attempts and monitor logs for abnormal service crashes or resource exhaustion patterns.
