CVE-2026-70724 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-08-18

MySQL Cluster is Oracle's distributed database product used for high-availability applications requiring real-time data access. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit a vulnerability in the cluster management interface to gain complete control over the database system, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all stored data. The attack requires user interaction and is difficult to execute, but successful exploitation leads to full system compromise.
