Technical details
An easily exploitable vulnerability in the Server: Group Replication GCS component allows unauthenticated attackers with adjacent network access (on the same physical communication segment) to achieve complete system compromise. The attack requires no authentication, user interaction, or special privileges; successful exploitation results in full takeover of the MySQL Server or Cluster instance. The vulnerability is addressed in patched versions of both MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster.
