Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of MariaDB installed on the remote host is prior to 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, 13.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the GHSA-625w-4hgq-qwmr advisory.

- ### Impact `GRANT PROXY` statement incorrectly checked grantor's privileges when the statement included `IDENTIFIED` clause with an empty password. This allowed an attacker to set passwords for other accounts.
### Patches Fixed in 10.6.28, 10.11.19, 11.4.13, 11.8.9, 12.3.3, 13.0.2. ### Workarounds An attacker won't be able to change another user's password, if user names are random and non-guessable. ### References https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-40470 ### Credits [Kvin GERVOT](https://mizu.re) (CVE-2026-97380)
