Technical details

This vulnerability affects the Connector/J component of Oracle MySQL Connectors. It is classified as easily exploitable, requiring only low privileges and network access via multiple protocols. The exploit results in a scope change (S:C), meaning the impact can extend beyond the MySQL Connector itself to other products or the underlying environment. The primary impact is a high loss of confidentiality (C:H), potentially allowing an attacker to access all data reachable by the connector. The vulnerability was disclosed as part of the Oracle Critical Patch Update for July 2026.
