The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R) confirms the attack requires no authentication but mandates human interaction from a person other than the attacker - the victim must perform a specific action (e.g., clicking a link, submitting a form, or triggering a request) to complete exploitation. AC:H further indicates a race condition, specific deployment precondition, or environmental state must be satisfied. The MySQL Cluster 'Cluster: General' component must be reachable by the attacker over HTTP from the network. MySQL Cluster's HTTP management interface is not typically internet-exposed in standard deployments, which limits opportunistic exploitation from untrusted external networks. Exploitation is constrained by: (1) required active human interaction from a cluster operator or admin (UI:R), (2) high attack complexity requiring specific preconditions to align (AC:H), and (3) HTTP reachability of the MySQL Cluster management interface from the attacker's network position.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields a score of 7.5, reflecting genuinely high impact constrained by two meaningful friction factors: AC:H (a specific precondition or timing dependency must align) and UI:R (a cluster user or administrator must take an action the attacker induces). These factors substantially reduce the viability of automated, opportunistic exploitation - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in sanok managing a MySQL Cluster deployment faces theoretical rather than imminent mass-exploitation risk absent a public exploit. No EPSS score was provided, KEV status is absent (no confirmed active exploitation), and no POC is publicly available, keeping real-world risk theoretical but high-consequence if triggered. Notably, the ENISA tagging of this vulnerability as 'Information Disclosure' is inconsistent with Oracle's own CVSS vector showing full C:H/I:H/A:H impact and a 'takeover' outcome - this discrepancy should be verified against the Oracle August 2026 CPU advisory directly.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker identifies a MySQL Cluster HTTP interface accessible over the network and crafts a malicious HTTP request or lure that requires a cluster administrator or operator to interact with it - for example, clicking an attacker-controlled link while authenticated to the cluster management context. When the specific high-complexity precondition aligns and the user interaction is completed, the attacker achieves full control over the MySQL Cluster, enabling arbitrary data access, data manipulation, or service disruption. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Full takeover of Oracle MySQL Cluster is achievable by an unauthenticated remote attacker over HTTP across three active release trains: 8.0.0-8.0.48, 8.4.0-8.4.11, and 9.7.0-9.7.2. The attack carries high complexity and requires human interaction from a victim user, but successful exploitation yields complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the cluster. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

RemediationAI

Apply Oracle's August 2026 Critical Patch Update, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspuaug2026.html, which addresses this vulnerability. Exact patched version numbers above the affected maxima (8.0.48, 8.4.11, 9.7.2) are not independently confirmed in the provided data - consult the Oracle CPU directly for precise target versions before upgrading. As a compensating control where immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to MySQL Cluster HTTP management and inter-node interfaces at the firewall layer, limiting reachability to trusted administrative subnets only; this reduces the attacker's access window but does not eliminate the underlying flaw. Additionally, disabling HTTP-based cluster interfaces where operationally unnecessary can further reduce exposure, though doing so may impair cluster monitoring and management tooling - assess operational impact before applying.

Technical ContextAI · show details

MySQL Cluster (NDB Cluster) is Oracle's distributed, shared-nothing, high-availability database engine designed for carrier-grade and real-time workloads. The vulnerability resides in the 'Cluster: General' component and is reachable over HTTP, implicating the cluster's management layer or HTTP-based inter-node communication interfaces. No CWE was assigned by Oracle, leaving the root cause class unspecified; the combination of full CIA:H impact, network delivery, and no authentication requirement is consistent with a logic flaw, authentication bypass, or unsafe deserialization in cluster request handling. All three currently supported release trains are affected, meaning no supported upgrade path within a given train is inherently safe without applying Oracle's patch.

DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the MySQL Cluster product of Oracle MySQL (component: Cluster: General). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.0-8.0.48, 8.4.0-8.4.11 and 9.7.0-9.7.2. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise 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 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

Why It Matters

Oracle MySQL Cluster versions 8.0.0-8.0.48, 8.4.0-8.4.11, and 9.7.0-9.7.2 are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote takeover via HTTP that enables complete compromise of database confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Organizations running affected versions face critical risk to database-dependent business operations and data protection obligations. The vulnerability requires high technical complexity and user interaction to exploit, reducing but not eliminating immediate operational risk.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: restrict network access to cluster nodes via firewall rules and network segmentation; implement strong access controls limiting HTTP exposure to authorized administrative personnel only; disable unnecessary HTTP listeners and require HTTPS-only access where operationally feasible; enable comprehensive audit logging for all cluster administrative operations; deploy intrusion detection with signatures for cluster reconnaissance; maintain tested offline backups for rapid recovery; implement rate limiting and anomalous connection monitoring on cluster ports.
