Threats tagged 'bit-mariadb-2026-85985'

A missing authorization vulnerability exists in the MariaDB server's CONNECT engine plugin file-access UDFs (json_file(), bson_file(), jfile_make(), bfile_make(), and jbin_file()) in certain versions. These functions do not enforce the FILE privilege or the secure_file_priv setting, allowing a low-privileged attacker to read or write files on the filesystem that the database account is not authorized to access, subject to OS permissions. The issue affects multiple MariaDB versions and has been fixed in later releases.
