SCA: security update for org.mariadb.jdbc:mariadb-java-client (GHSA-fhx5-2xqw-2cgm)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478099

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- MariaDB Connector/J is used to connect applications developed in Java to MariaDB and MySQL databases. From
3.0.0 until 3.3.7, 3.4.5, and 3.5.11, the ClientMessage.validateLocalFileName() check used a regular
expression that could match LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE text inside quoted identifiers, string literals, or
comments instead of requiring a real statement. A malicious or compromised server, or a machine-in-the-
middle attacker, could return crafted database or table identifiers that the connector reused in metadata
or updatable-result queries, then answer with a LOCAL INFILE request for a client file. With
allowLocalInfile enabled, this caused the connector to stream any readable client-host file named by the
crafted text, including through DatabaseMetaData.getImportedKeys(), DatabaseMetaData.getExportedKeys(), or
ResultSet.updateRow() paths. This issue is fixed in versions 3.3.7, 3.4.5, and 3.5.11. (CVE-2026-119210)

Solution

Update the org.mariadb.jdbc:mariadb-java-client library and its related packages to version 3.3.7 or later.
