AI-suggested

A fix is available in MariaDB versions 10.6.27, 10.11.18, 11.4.12, 11.8.8, and 12.3.2. Users should upgrade to these versions to remediate the vulnerability. If immediate upgrade is not possible, the vendor advisory recommends disabling the wsrep_notify_cmd feature to mitigate the risk. Exploitation requires wsrep_notify_cmd to be explicitly enabled and acceptance of a malicious node into the cluster, so ensuring wsrep_notify_cmd is disabled by default reduces exposure.

Description

MariaDB server is a community developed fork of MySQL server. Versions 10.6.1 through 10.6.26, 10.11.1 through 10.11.17, 11.4.1 through 11.4.11, 11.8.1 through 11.8.7, and 12.3.1 with `wsrep_notify_cmd` enabled would execute shell commands embedded in the name of the joiner node. This is fixed in 10.6.27, 10.11.18, 11.4.12, 11.8.8, and 12.3.2. As a workaround, anyone who cannot upgrade now should disable `wsrep_notify_cmd`.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the MariaDB server with the privileges of the database process. This can lead to full system compromise, including unauthorized data access, modification, denial of service, and hiding of malicious activities. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
