Unauthenticated ACL bypass via spoofed source addresses
Published Jun 19, 2026 · Updated Jun 19, 2026
Authorization bypass in SysOwn ProxySQL 2.0.0 through 3.0.8 allows remote attackers to evade client-address routing controls. The MySQL frontend's PP1 parser applies sscanf to address fields after an UNKNOWN token, overwrites the session's addr.addr identity, and passes that spoofed value to mysql_query_rules.client_addr. TCP reachability to the MySQL frontend is sufficient under the default wildcard PROXY-protocol setting, enabling protected route selection and false audit attribution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
