Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This is a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Connectors (versions 9.7.0-9.7.1). An unauthenticated attacker can remotely exploit it via network access to cause the MySQL Connectors to hang or crash repeatedly, making them unavailable.

Detection Guidance

Detection of CVE-2026-60180 requires checking the version of MySQL Connector/C++ installed. If the version is 9.7.0 or 9.7.1, the system is vulnerable. Use commands like 'mysql-connector-c++ --version' or check package managers (e.g., 'dpkg -l | grep mysql-connector-c++' on Debian/Ubuntu or 'rpm -qa | grep mysql-connector-c++' on RHEL).

Impact Analysis

If you use the affected MySQL Connectors, an attacker could disrupt your database operations by causing frequent crashes or hangs, leading to downtime and loss of service availability.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability causes denial-of-service (DOS) conditions in MySQL Connectors, leading to system unavailability. Unavailability of critical systems may violate compliance requirements under GDPR (data processing continuity) and HIPAA (system availability for protected health information).

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade MySQL Connectors to a version later than 9.7.1 to address the vulnerability. If upgrading is not immediately possible, consider disabling network access to the affected component or implementing strict firewall rules to limit exposure.
