CVE-2026-86047: MariaDB: Insufficient quoting in mariadb-dump and SHOW commands

Published Oct 16, 2026
·
Updated

MariaDB server is a community developed fork of MySQL server. From 10.6.1 until 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, and 13.0.2, SHOW CREATE SERVER, SHOW CREATE USER, and mariadb-dump are affected because each does not consistently quote identifiers and values when serializing SQL. A low-privileged attacker can trigger the issue when an attacker-created object with crafted identifiers or values is included in SHOW output or a dump, then create an object with crafted identifiers or values so generated SQL contains injected statements and execute attacker-injected SQL when the poisoned output is applied. This issue is fixed in versions 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, and 13.0.2.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which MariaDB releases contain the fixes?

The issue is fixed in MariaDB 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, and 13.0.2. Affected releases begin at 10.6.1 and include versions before the listed fixes in the affected release lines.

2

What must an attacker do for injected SQL to be executed?

A low-privileged attacker must create an object with crafted identifiers or values that is included in SHOW CREATE SERVER, SHOW CREATE USER, or mariadb-dump output. The generated output must then be applied, causing the injected SQL statements in that output to execute.

3

Which environments are most exposed?

Environments are exposed when they generate and later apply output from the affected SHOW commands or mariadb-dump, and low-privileged users can create objects whose identifiers or values are serialized into that output. The risk depends on a poisoned output being used as SQL, rather than merely viewed.
