MariaDB Server through version 11.8.5 fails to audit SQL statements when the server audit plugin is enabled and queries are prefixed with SQL comments (-- or #), allowing authenticated database users to execute DDL, DML, or DCL commands without logging. This bypass affects Relational Database Service, Aurora MySQL, and MariaDB deployments relying on audit logging for compliance and security monitoring. An attacker with database credentials could perform unauthorized administrative or data manipulation operations while evading audit trails.
