CVE-2026-46870Network attack vector

Authenticated application takeover

Published Jun 16, 2026 · Updated Jun 16, 2026

Improper access control in Oracle MySQL Shell for VS Code 2026.2.0+9.6.1 allows remote authenticated users to take over the shell. Oracle identifies MySQL Protocol as the attack path but has not disclosed the affected code locus or the access-control operation performed incorrectly. The attacker must hold low privileges and reach the extension over a supported protocol; successful exploitation grants shell takeover and can impact connected products.
