Mysql Server · Mysql Server · CVE-2020-2694
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
MySQL Server versions 8.0.18 and prior
**Description**
The issue is related to inadequate access control in the MySQL Server product, specifically in the Server: Information Schema component. It allows an attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise the MySQL Server, resulting in unauthorized read access to a subset of MySQL Server accessible data. The vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to gain access to protected information using protocols such as HTTP.
**Recommendations**
For versions 8.0.18 and prior, update to a version that contains a fix for this issue to prevent unauthorized access to MySQL Server data.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network access to the MySQL Server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Restrict access to the Server: Information Schema component to prevent attackers from gaining unauthorized access to MySQL Server data.
