CVE-2026-107817: MariaDB mysql_json plugin out-of-bounds read

CVE-2026-107817 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.4 · Published 2026-10-09

MariaDB is a database server used to store and manage data for applications. The mysql_json plugin, which handles JSON data imported from MySQL tables, fails to validate the data format and can crash the server or leak sensitive information when processing specially crafted invalid JSON. An attacker with the ability to create or modify database tables could exploit this to cause denial of service or extract data.

Technologies: Mariadb, MariaDB Server. Vendors: Mariadb.

Technical details

The mysql_json plugin in MariaDB assumes imported MySQL tables contain valid binary JSON data without proper validation, leading to out-of-bounds reads when encountering invalid JSON structures. This affects versions 10.6.1 through 10.6.27, 10.11.x before 10.11.19, 11.4.x before 11.4.13, 11.8.x before 11.8.9, 12.3.x before 12.3.3, and 13.0.x before 13.0.2. An attacker with database access can trigger information disclosure or server crashes; exploitation requires the ability to interact with or create specially prepared tables.
