• CVE-2017-3586: 1.71% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 77.42 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Vulnerability in the MySQL Connectors component of Oracle MySQL (subcomponent: Connector/J). Supported versions that are affected are 5.1.41 and earlier. Easily "exploitable" vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise MySQL Connectors. While the vulnerability is in MySQL Connectors, attacks may significantly impact additional products. 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 6.4 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2017-3586

Advisory: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Oracle MySQL Connectors Java
IDs: CVE-2017-3586, GHSA-pwh7-92h3-mqr6
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2017-3586 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:53 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.4)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: mysql:mysql-connector-java 5.1.42. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven mysql:mysql-connector-java: affected <= 5.1.41; fixed in 5.1.42

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven mysql:mysql-connector-java: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on mysql:mysql-connector-java.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pwh7-92h3-mqr6 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-pwh7-92h3-mqr6 lists affected ranges: Maven mysql:mysql-connector-java >=0 <=5.1.41)
