2DescriptionCVE.org
Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors product of Oracle MySQL (component: Connector/J). Supported versions that are affected are 9.7.0-9.7.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Connectors. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all MySQL Connectors accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized access to critical data is achievable against MySQL Connector/J versions 9.7.0 and 9.7.1 via a network-accessible authentication bypass flaw requiring human interaction. Oracle classifies this as easily exploitable, meaning a network-positioned unauthenticated attacker can intercept or otherwise obtain complete access to all data flowing through the affected connector when a legitimate application initiates a database connection. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Technical ContextAI
MySQL Connector/J is Oracle's official JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) driver, enabling Java applications to connect to MySQL and MySQL-compatible database servers using multiple protocols (including the standard MySQL protocol over TCP). The affected versions are 9.7.0 and 9.7.1, which are recent releases in the 9.x connector generation. The vendor tag 'Authentication Bypass' combined with the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) strongly suggests a flaw in how the connector establishes or validates the server identity or session security during the connection handshake - a class of vulnerability that could involve insufficient TLS certificate verification, server spoofing acceptance, or improper authentication challenge handling. The CWE is listed as N/A, which limits root-cause classification; however, Authentication Bypass patterns in JDBC drivers commonly manifest as failures in hostname verification or trust store enforcement. The 'multiple protocols' language in the Oracle description indicates the flaw is not confined to a single connection mode.
RemediationAI
Upgrade MySQL Connector/J to a version beyond 9.7.1 as specified in the Oracle Critical Patch Update for July 2026, available at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2026.html. The exact fixed release version is not independently confirmed from the provided reference data; consult the Oracle CPU page directly to identify the minimum safe version. As an interim compensating control while patching, enforce explicit TLS certificate verification in all JDBC connection strings (e.g., verifyServerCertificate=true combined with a trusted CA truststore) to reduce the likelihood of server impersonation attacks; note this may require provisioning valid server certificates and could break connections to servers with self-signed certificates. Additionally, restrict network routing between Java application servers and MySQL instances to hardened, monitored network segments where ARP spoofing or DNS poisoning is mitigated, reducing the attacker's ability to achieve a man-in-the-middle position.
