I'm on my phone so can't look it up again, but the closed PRs are in the repo for anyone to see.

That's it, you CAN send the same "command" - but SourceBans++ DOESN'T send it at all due to the buggy version check.

There is absolutely nothing that could be changed in MariaDB (other than pretending to be MySQL, and a specific version at that), the problem is squarely in SourceBans++ – if it just sent the query it would work fine – and the query in question is just working around other bugs in SourceBans++ and is required by BOTH MySQL and MariaDB 5.6+, but SourceBans++ doesn't consider 10 greater than 5 so doesn't work with current versions of MariaDB, it'll probably break MySQL on the next major version bump as well.
