CVE-2022-26944

6.5 mediumEPSS 1.0%

Medium (6.5) in percona xtrabackup. EPSS 1.0% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Percona XtraBackup 2.4.20 unintentionally writes the command line to any resulting backup file output. This may include sensitive arguments passed at run time. In addition, when --history is passed at run time, this command line is also written to the PERCONA_SCHEMA.xtrabackup_history table. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-10997.
