What is known
An issue was discovered in Percona PMM before 3.7. Because an internal database user retains specific superuser privileges, an attacker with pmm-admin rights can abuse the "Add data source" feature to break out of the database context and execute shell commands on the underlying operating system.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-25212, a critical vulnerability (CVSS 9.9) affecting monitoring and management, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether monitoring and management is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
