{"id":"CVE-2023-29194","aliases":["GHSA-735r-hv67-g38f","GO-2023-1717"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2023-29194","summary":"vitess allows users to create keyspaces that can deny access to already existing keyspaces","details":"Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL. Users can either intentionally or inadvertently create a keyspace containing `/` characters such that from that point on, anyone who tries to view keyspaces from VTAdmin will receive an error. Trying to list all the keyspaces using `vtctldclient GetKeyspaces` will also return an error. Note that all other keyspaces can still be administered using the CLI (vtctldclient). This issue is fixed in version 16.0.1. As a workaround, delete the offending keyspace using a CLI client (vtctldclient).","published":"2023-04-14T18:42:54.461Z","modified":"2026-07-15T01:49:20.543315556Z","cvss":{"score":4.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"vitess.io/vitess","fixedVersion":"0.16.1"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/commit/adf10196760ad0b3991a7aa7a8580a544e6ddf88","label":"vitessio/vitess@adf1019"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/commits/v0.16.1/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/29xxx/CVE-2023-29194.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/security/advisories/GHSA-735r-hv67-g38f"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-29194"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/commit/adf10196760ad0b3991a7aa7a8580a544e6ddf88"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-15T01:49:20.543315556Z"}}
