Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • MySQL Connector/J contains an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability due to missing security checks when external general entities are included in XML sources
  • Affected component is MySQL Connector/J (mysql-connector-java) versions 8.0.26 and prior; monitor for XXE-based exploitation attempts against MySQL Connector/J integrations
  • Successful exploitation can result in unauthorized data access or complete DOS (hang/crash) of MySQL Connectors; monitor for unexpected crashes or data exfiltration from Connector/J-based applications
  • ·Exploitation requires high privileges and network access; attack complexity is rated High (AC:H), limiting opportunistic exploitation
  • ·In OpenShift Container Platform, the affected Presto/Metering component is deprecated since OCP 4.6 and removed from OCP 4.9+; affected deployments are marked wontfix
