Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2012-5613 exists.\n\nAffected product: Mariadb Mariadb. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5613/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5613/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-5613","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5613/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-5613","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cvqp-6rwh-x2fj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"MySQL database","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with FILE privilege can escalate privileges by creating files as administrator, requiring non-default configuration.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"mariadb","vendor":"mariadb"},{"product":"mysql","vendor":"oracle"}],"cvss":{"score":6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-16","name":null}],"description":"MySQL 5.5.19 and possibly other versions, and MariaDB 5.5.28a and possibly other versions, when configured to assign the FILE privilege to users who should not have administrative privileges, allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by leveraging the FILE privilege to create files as the MySQL administrator.
