Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper Authentication
EUVDB-ID: #VU75740
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2283
CWE-ID:
CWE-287 - Improper Authentication
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to an error within the pki_verify_data_signature() function in pki_crypto.c. The pki_key_check_hash_compatible() function can return SSH_OK value if memory allocation error happens later in the function. The A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the system.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsMySQL Workbench: 8.0.11 - 8.0.34

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Security features bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU70528
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46908
CWE-ID:
CWE-254 - Security Features
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper implementation of the azProhibitedFunctions protection mechanism, which allows UDF functions such as WRITEFILE when relying on --safe for execution of an untrusted CLI script. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
