Technical details

A vulnerability in the Server: Group Replication Plugin component of Oracle MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster allows for a complete takeover of the affected products. The flaw is classified as easily exploitable but requires the attacker to have existing logon access to the infrastructure where the MySQL instance is executing (Local attack vector). Despite the local requirement, the exploit does not require administrative privileges or user interaction. Successful exploitation results in a total loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Affected versions include MySQL Server 8.4.x and 9.7.x, and MySQL Cluster 8.0.x, 8.4.x, and 9.7.x. Users are advised to refer to the Oracle Critical Patch Update for July 2026 for remediation steps.
