**Recommendations**
For Oracle MySQL Server versions 8.0.35 and prior, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue.
For Oracle MySQL Server versions 8.2.0 and prior, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network access to the MySQL Server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
