Check the vendor advisory for patch availability. Until patched, consider disabling the server audit plugin or adjusting audit event filters to avoid relying on logging statements that begin with comment prefixes.
Description
CVE-2026-3494 is a medium severity vulnerability in MariaDB Server versions up to 11.8.5 where the server audit plugin fails to log SQL statements that begin with comment prefixes (double-hyphen or hash) when certain audit event filters are enabled. This results in insufficient logging of some database queries.
