    If you are able to access the MySQL database with root/admin privileges,
    you should also be able to create a custom UDF (User Defined Function)
    enabling system()-like command execution on the underlying OS.

    Take a look the following exploit i've published this x-mas for a detailed
    privilege escalation procedure (credits for the original code go to
    ngssoftware.com):

    I've not tested it on Windows, but i've hard this code was used as a base
    for the SpoolCLL worm that targets Windows boxes (although i've not
    verified this claim yet):

    You should also read this excellent paper by the guys at ngssoftware.com:
