1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Affects only MySQL Connector/Net version 26.7.0. As a client-side .NET connector library, exploitation realistically requires the attacker to control or impersonate the MySQL server the connector communicates with (a malicious/compromised server or an on-path/MITM position), consistent with the AC:H rating that marks this as difficult to exploit; it is not a direct remote hit against a passively listening service. No authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N), but the high-complexity preconditions and the single affected version significantly limit the realistic exploitation window. Impact is confined to unauthorized disclosure of connector-accessible data (no integrity or availability effect). |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority issue that scores CVSS 3.1 5.9 (Medium) with the vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N - network-reachable and unauthenticated (PR:N), but gated by high attack complexity (AC:H) and limited to confidentiality impact only (C:H, I:N, A:N). The high complexity is the key limiting signal: Oracle explicitly labels it 'difficult to exploit,' and because Connector/Net is a client-side .NET library, realistic exploitation generally depends on the connector being induced to talk to a malicious or MITM'd MySQL endpoint rather than a straightforward remote strike against a listening service. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are present in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation; the practical urgency is therefore well below what the 'network/unauthenticated' portion of the vector might suggest in isolation. Note a tag conflict: the input Tags include 'Authentication Bypass,' but the description characterizes the flaw as unauthorized read access to critical data, not a bypass of authentication - verify the vulnerability class with Oracle before treating it as an auth-bypass. Prioritize patching in the normal Oracle CPU cycle rather than as an emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker positioned to control or impersonate a MySQL server endpoint (e.g., via a rogue/compromised server or man-in-the-middle on the connection path) coaxes a .NET application using MySQL Connector/Net 26.7.0 to connect to it. Exploiting the high-complexity flaw, the attacker reads critical data accessible to the connector without authenticating. No public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis, and the AC:H rating indicates the preconditions are non-trivial to satisfy. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
MySQL Connector/Net 26.7.0, Oracle's ADO.NET client library for MySQL, can expose connector-accessible data to an unauthenticated network attacker who controls or impersonates the MySQL server the client connects to. Oracle rates it CVSS 3.1 5.9 (Medium) with AC:H, reflecting a difficult-to-exploit, confidentiality-only flaw that is not a direct hit against a passively listening service. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS data was supplied with the source intelligence.
RemediationAI
Patch status is 'Patch available per vendor advisory': Oracle published the fix through its Critical Patch Update October 2026 (https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuoct2026.html), and organizations should upgrade Connector/Net from 26.7.0 to the patched release named in that CPU - the provided data does not specify the exact fixed version number, so confirm it in the advisory before deployment. Because exploitation hinges on attacker control of the server endpoint, the most effective compensating control is to enforce TLS with full certificate validation (SslMode=VerifyFull or VerifyCA with a proper trust store) across all connector connection strings, which blocks a rogue or impersonated server from completing the handshake; the trade-off is that self-signed or improperly issued server certificates will fail and must be reissued by a trusted CA. Additionally, restrict outbound connector traffic to explicitly allow-listed MySQL hosts and ports via firewall/egress rules to reduce DNS-spoofing and MITM exposure (at the cost of added change-management overhead), and avoid connecting to untrusted or third-party MySQL endpoints from sensitive applications until the patch is applied. No public exploit was identified, so remediation can follow normal patch-cycle prioritization rather than emergency change procedures.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Connector/Net is Oracle's managed .NET (ADO.NET) driver that applications use to open sessions against MySQL Server, handling the connection handshake, authentication exchange, and server-supplied metadata. Because the vulnerable component is client-side, the realistic attack surface is the trust the driver places in data provided by the server endpoint: an attacker who can present a rogue, compromised, or impersonated MySQL server - via DNS spoofing, ARP/on-path man-in-the-middle positioning, or control of a configured host - may induce the connector to disclose data it can access. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N confirms a network-reachable, unauthenticated (PR:N), no-interaction path that is gated by high attack complexity (AC:H) and confined to confidentiality impact (C:H with I:N/A:N). Oracle did not assign a CWE for this entry, so the precise root-cause class (for example, improper validation of server-supplied data during the handshake) is not publicly characterized; the only version listed as affected by ENISA EUVD is 26.7.0, and no CPE identifiers were included in the provided data.
