Impact
The flaw resides in the connection‑handling component of the MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster, allowing an attacker with low privileges to read a subset of data that would normally be accessible to that account. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability, but it lowers confidentiality; the CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.3 reflects a network attacker, low privilege, and no user interaction. This flaw is related to improper access control (CWE‑284) and additional access control weaknesses (CWE‑488).
Affected Systems
Oracle Corporation’s MySQL Server and MySQL Cluster are affected. Vulnerable releases include MySQL Server 9.7.0‑9.7.3 and 26.7.0‑26.7.1, and MySQL Cluster 9.7.0‑9.7.3 and 26.7.0‑26.7.1.
Risk and Exploitability
An attacker who can reach the database service over any supported network protocol and possesses a low‑privilege account can trigger this flaw simply by connecting. The EPSS score of 0.00295 indicates very low likelihood of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog; however, the CVSS score of 4.3 and the guaranteed read access to protected data classify it as a moderate‑risk issue for systems holding sensitive information.
