Technical details

The vulnerability in the Group Replication plugin (Server: Group Replication Plugin component) is easily exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access (AV:A). The attack requires no authentication, user interaction, or configuration complexity (AC:L, PR:N, UI:N). Successful exploitation results in denial of service via crash or hang, and unauthorized integrity and availability impacts on replication data.
