How to fix this CVE

Update MySQL Server to version 8.0.46 or later to patch a replication component vulnerability that can cause denial of service. This vulnerability requires high-level database privileges and complex exploitation conditions, but administrators should prioritize patching to prevent potential service disruptions. Apply the update during a maintenance window and verify replication functionality post-deployment.

sudo dnf update mysql-server

Defensia detects this vulnerability

How to check if you are affected

  1. Check installed MySQL version: mysql --version or SELECT VERSION(); from the MySQL client
  2. Identify replication status: SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G or SHOW REPLICA STATUS\G to verify if replication is active
  3. Review error logs for unexplained crashes or hangs: grep -i 'crash\|hang\|fatal' /var/log/mysql/error.log
  4. Confirm successful patching: Verify the version matches 8.0.46 or later and test replication sync after update

FAQ

What is CVE-2026-60187?

CVE-2026-60187 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in MySQL's replication component that allows privileged attackers to trigger service crashes or hangs by exploiting a flaw in the replication protocol handling.

Is CVE-2026-60187 being actively exploited?

No, this vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog and no public exploits are available. However, the attack complexity is high and requires administrative credentials.

What versions of MySQL are affected by CVE-2026-60187?

MySQL Server versions 8.4.0 through 8.4.10, 9.7.0 through 9.7.1, and MySQL Cluster versions 8.0.0 through 8.0.47, 8.4.0 through 8.4.10, and 9.7.0 through 9.7.1 are affected.

How do I check if my server is vulnerable to CVE-2026-60187?

Run 'mysql --version' or execute 'SELECT VERSION();' in MySQL client. If the version falls within 8.4.0-8.4.10 or 9.7.0-9.7.1 range, your server is vulnerable and requires immediate patching.

Does Defensia detect CVE-2026-60187?

Yes — Defensia's CVE advisory scanner compares installed package versions against the NVD database. If MySQL is installed on a monitored server, CVE-2026-60187 will appear in your dashboard with remediation steps.

CVE-2026-29080CVSS 8.8A SQL injection vulnerability in `FilterEngine.create_sqla_query()` allows any authenticated Rucio user to execute arbitrary SQL against the backend database through the DID search endpoint (`GET /dids/<scope>/dids/search`). On Oracle deployments attacker-controlled filter keys and values are interpolated directly into `sqlalchemy.text()` via Python `.format()`, completely bypassing parameterization. This enables full database compromise including extraction of authentication tokens, password hashes, and all managed data identifiers. This affects versions 1.27.0 and later before 35.8.5, 38.5.5, 39.4.2, and 40.1.1. The vulnerability exists in `lib/rucio/core/did_meta_plugins/filter_engine.py` within the `create_sqla_query()` method. When the database dialect is Oracle, filter expressions for JSON metadata columns are constructed using `text()` with Python string formatting. Both `key` and `value` are attacker-controlled strings derived from HTTP query parameters. The `text()` function creates a raw SQL fragment — it does **not** escape or parameterize its contents. Any authenticated Rucio user can exploit this through the DID search API to execute arbitrary SQL against the backend database. This can expose all managed data identifiers and sensitive tables such as identities, tokens, accounts, rse_settings, and rules, and may allow modification of database contents. The issue affects Oracle deployments using the default json_meta plugin and does not affect PostgreSQL or MySQL deployments using that plugin. This vulnerability has been fixed in versions 35.8.5, 38.5.5, 39.4.2, and 40.1.1.
