: Specifically targets versions greater than 5.0.12 with specialized payloads for error-based or time-based injection.
If MySQL is running as root (a frighteningly common misconfiguration in 2005), the attacker instantly owns the server. If running as mysql , they can still read /etc/passwd , exfiltrate database contents, or use sys_exec to download a rootkit that exploits a local privilege escalation (e.g., CVE-2007-1351).
If you are still running MySQL 5.0.12, the system is considered highly insecure due to the age of these vulnerabilities.
While more famously associated with slightly later versions, the logic underlying affects many legacy MySQL builds.
