How do I patch CVE-2026-46861?

No patch has shipped for CVE-2026-46861 yet — track the oracle mysql ndb cluster advisory for a fixed release and apply the workarounds below in the meantime.

How do I detect CVE-2026-46861 across my infrastructure?

Inventory every oracle mysql ndb cluster deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for exploitation at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-46861 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-46861?

O3 detects and blocks CVE-2026-46861 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.

Is CVE-2026-46861 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-46861 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-46861?

CVE-2026-46861 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 28th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-46861?

CVE-2026-46861 is classified as CWE-284 (CWE-284). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Description

Vulnerability in the MySQL NDB Cluster product of Oracle MySQL (component: Cluster: NDB Operator). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.11-8.0.46, 8.4.0-8.4.9 and 9.0.0-9.7.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise MySQL NDB Cluster. While the vulnerability is in MySQL NDB Cluster, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all MySQL NDB Cluster accessible data as well as unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all MySQL NDB Cluster accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 9.6 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N).
