CVE-2025-30722: 
MySQL vulnerability analysis and mitigation

A vulnerability (CVE-2025-30722) was discovered in Oracle MySQL Client (component: Client: mysqldump) affecting versions 8.0.0-8.0.41, 8.4.0-8.4.4, and 9.0.0-9.2.0. The vulnerability was disclosed on April 15, 2025, as part of Oracle's Critical Patch Update (Oracle CPU).

This is a difficult-to-exploit vulnerability that allows low-privileged attackers with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Client. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS 3.1 Base Score of 5.9 (Medium) with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N, indicating network attack vector, high attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, and low integrity impact (NVD, RedHat).

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all MySQL Client accessible data, as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of MySQL Client accessible data (Oracle CPU, NetApp Advisory).

Oracle has released security patches as part of the April 2025 Critical Patch Update. Users are strongly advised to apply these security patches as soon as possible. For systems where immediate patching is not possible, organizations should consider restricting network access and removing privileges from users who don't require them (Oracle CPU, NetApp Advisory).
