CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2026-22017 is a medium-severity Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400) vulnerability in Oracle Mysql Server. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).
Operationally, ranked at the 22th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SC-5 (Denial-of-service Protection) and SC-6 (Resource Availability) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
SC-5 directly limits the effects of resource-exhaustion events that constitute uncontrolled consumption.
SC-6 enforces explicit allocation limits on resources, structurally preventing the weakness from occurring.
Process isolation confines resource consumption to separate domains, reducing blast radius without stopping the root flaw.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Resource-utilization monitoring and alerting on bottlenecks or overloads limits the impact of denial-of-service or resource-exhaustion attacks.
A.8.6's monitoring, stress-testing, projections, tuning, demand-reduction steps (e.g. optimizing queries, deleting obsolete data, restricting non-critical bandwidth) and capacity planning directly stop most uncontrolled consumption from being exploitable by keeping resources within safe bounds; the bounded remainder is algorithmic flaws (e.g. infinite loops, uncontrolled recursion) that no amount of capacity planning can prevent from exhausting a resource when triggered.
Early notification of anomalous resource consumption or system malfunctions enables throttling or isolation before availability is lost.
Monitoring network service usage and applying controls to restrict access when necessary limits an attacker’s ability to consume excessive resources through unrestricted or unauthenticated service calls.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
- No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-400, a class-level weakness. Rules are authored against its narrower children: CWE-770.
