You can mount almost any non-structural item to the outside stucco of your house using concrete screws. Most packages of concrete screws come with the right sized masonry drill bit. Just drill the hole and screw in the concrete screw. Very easy to do.
If you are going to attach railing to stucco, then you need to be sure that you attach your railing into solid wood. Such as one of the 2x4 wall studs. You also need to use galvanized lag screws that attach directly to the 2X4 wall stud on any exterior application. To be safe, your railing needs to be structurally sound.

Screws For Stucco

Stucco is just concrete used as a finish. You need to find a solid support inside the wall. Drill small holes where the railing will attach to the house. You will know you have enough support if the drill bit is being resisted to the entire length of the bit. Place a piece of wood at that point to attach the railing to.

Drill a pilot hole into the stucco surface and put in anchor bolts. Most stucco is applied either to mesh or plywood. This should work. Or, use contractors adhesive to attached the plumbing from the mist system. Keep in mind you'll have to caulk around any breaks in stucco to prevent moisture from entering.

You need to mount through the stucco into the wood behind it, you are looking at probably atleast an inch and a half before you hit wood or a stud

What you need to do is determine the weight and get the appropriate length of screws to hold it. First, you'll need to drill holes with a masonry bit and get lead anchors to match the length of the screws and then line up were they will go through brackets or eyelet holes that have been predrilled at top of rail and bottom.
