All clear now! It is not the app (MySQL etc..) alone but the whole

As Ted Roche says, security is not a feature, it's a process.
MySQL has excellent capabilities for creating secure databases, with
extremely granular rights, and an excellent system of users and
groups. A poor configuration could certainly render it very
vulnerable, as would an installation on an insecure system.
