CVE-2017-10277: Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/Net).

Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/Net). Supported versions that are affected are 6.9.9 and earlier. 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 update, insert or delete access to some of MySQL Connectors accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of MySQL Connectors accessible data. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 5.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).

Analyst readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This affects Oracle MySQL Connector/Net 6.9.9 and earlier, a client connector used by .NET applications to interact with MySQL. A remote unauthenticated attacker could cause limited unauthorized reads or data changes, but the attack requires user interaction. Treat it as important dependency remediation, not an immediate internet-scale emergency based on the supplied evidence.

Executive priority

Prioritize within the normal vulnerability remediation cycle, faster for applications handling sensitive data or exposed to untrusted users. The business concern is unauthorized data read or modification through an outdated database connector, balanced by required user interaction and no cited active exploitation.

Technical view

Oracle describes a network-exploitable Connector/Net vulnerability with low attack complexity, no privileges required, and required user interaction. Impact is limited confidentiality and integrity loss, with no availability impact. The supplied record does not identify a CWE, root cause, exploit method, or fixed Connector/Net version.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to applications or systems that include Oracle MySQL Connector/Net 6.9.9 or earlier. Prioritize externally reachable, user-facing, or data-sensitive .NET applications that connect to MySQL using this connector.

Exploitation context

The CVE record says exploitation is easy over multiple protocols and unauthenticated, but requires human interaction. The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing, public exploitation, exploit code, or incident reporting for active abuse.

Researcher notes

Key gaps remain: no CWE, root-cause detail, proof-of-concept status, or fixed version is provided in the bundle. Validation should focus on dependency discovery and vendor advisory confirmation rather than exploit reproduction.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory applications using Oracle MySQL Connector/Net.
  • Identify versions 6.9.9 and earlier.
  • Review Oracle's October 2017 CPU for vendor-approved remediation.
  • Update or replace affected Connector/Net versions per vendor guidance.
  • Reduce exposure of affected applications until remediation is complete.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm dependency manifests or deployed assemblies identify Connector/Net versions.
  • Check production and build environments for versions 6.9.9 and earlier.
  • Verify Oracle or vendor guidance has been applied.
  • Run regression tests for MySQL-backed application workflows.
  • Document any remaining affected systems and compensating controls.
