CVE-2026-60178Network attack vector

High-privilege server takeover via undisclosed Clone Plugin flaw

Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026

Improper access control in Oracle MySQL Clone Plugin allows remote authenticated users with high privileges to take over database servers. Oracle identifies the Clone Plugin as the affected component but has not published the flawed function, request, or access-control operation. Affected releases span MySQL Server 8.4.0 through 8.4.10 and 9.7.0 through 9.7.1, plus MySQL Cluster 8.0.0 through 8.0.47, 8.4.0 through 8.4.10, and 9.7.0 through 9.7.1; exploitation requires network access and high attack complexity.
