Title

MariaDB Connector/J: Cleartext password disclosure to a MITM on the initial-handshake

Summary

MariaDB Connector/J is used to connect applications developed in Java to MariaDB and MySQL databases. Prior to 2.7.14, 3.3.5, 3.4.3, and 3.5.9, when a Java application connects with sslMode=verify-full or sslMode=verify-ca, supplies a password, and does not configure serverSslCert or trustStore, Connector/J can accept an untrusted self-signed certificate through the fallbackToSystemTrustStore=true ephemeral trust manager and record its certFingerprint for later identity binding. The OK-packet and authentication-switch paths enforce the certificate fingerprint, but the initial-handshake path does not. HandshakeResponse.encode() can therefore build and send a mysql_clear_password response before checking certFingerprint != null && !isMitMProof(), sslMode, or whether the authentication plugin is resistant to a man-in-the-middle, and the initial path also bypasses restrictedAuth. An active man-in-the-middle or hostile server can present a self-signed certificate, claim to be MariaDB, select mysql_clear_password as the initial authentication plugin, and receive the full database password before the connection is rejected. This issue is fixed in versions 2.7.14, 3.3.5, 3.4.3, and 3.5.9.

Prior to 2.7.14, 3.3.5, 3.4.3, and 3.5.9, when a Java application connects with sslMode=verify-full or sslMode=verify-ca, supplies a password, and does not configure serverSslCert or trustStore, Connector/J can accept an untrusted self-signed certificate through the fallbackToSystemTrustStore=true ephemeral trust manager and record its certFingerprint for later identity binding. The OK-packet and authentication-switch paths enforce the certificate fingerprint, but the initial-handshake path does not. HandshakeResponse.encode() can therefore build and send a mysql_clear_password response before checking certFingerprint != null \u0026\u0026 !isMitMProof(), sslMode, or whether the authentication plugin is resistant to a man-in-the-middle, and the initial path also bypasses restrictedAuth. An active man-in-the-middle or hostile server can present a self-signed certificate, claim to be MariaDB, select mysql_clear_password as the initial authentication plugin, and receive the full database password before the connection is rejected. This issue is fixed in versions 2.7.14, 3.3.5, 3.4.3, and 3.5.9."

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-28 22:41 – Updated: 2026-08-28 22:41

Summary

MariaDB has cleartext password disclosure to a MITM on the initial-handshake

Details

Summary

When a Java application connects with sslMode=verify-full (or verify-ca) and a password but does not pin a server certificate, Connector/J deliberately accepts an untrusted/self-signed certificate at the TLS layer (the "MITM-proof without a CA" feature) and proves the server's identity afterwards by binding the certificate fingerprint into the authentication exchange. That fingerprint enforcement is applied to the OK-packet and auth-switch paths but not to the initial-handshake path. An active man-in-the-middle that presents a self-signed certificate, claims to be MariaDB, and names the initial authentication plugin mysql_clear_password receives the victim's database password in cleartext, before any fingerprint/identity check runs. The connection is torn down a moment later, but the credential is already gone.

Details

For sslMode=verify-full/verify-ca with a password and no serverSslCert/trustStore, the connector falls back to an ephemeral trust manager (default fallbackToSystemTrustStore=true) that accepts any non-expired certificate at the TLS layer and records its fingerprint. Identity is then meant to be enforced via that fingerprint.

The enforcement guard is present on two of the three paths, the OK-packet fingerprint check and the auth-switch handler (where the clear-password plugin is only allowed when the fingerprint is already verified). It is absent on the initial-handshake send: HandshakeResponse.encode() builds the mysql_clear_password response after checking only that SSL is enabled, never consulting the recorded fingerprint, sslMode, or whether the plugin is MITM-proof. By that point the connector already knows the certificate was self-signed. The clear-password plugin does not declare itself MITM-proof (it inherits the safe default), which confirms it is meant to be refused on an unverified certificate; the initial-handshake path simply never consults that flag. The initial path also bypasses restrictedAuth.

Impact

An active man-in-the-middle steals the full cleartext database password of any Java application using Connector/J with sslMode=verify-full/verify-ca plus a password and no pinned certificate, the configuration documented as the easy, secure default. With the captured credentials the attacker can take over the database account and read or modify all data that account is authorized for. The victim takes no unusual action; the developer explicitly enabled TLS verification expecting exactly this protection.

Patches

Fixed in 2.7.14, 3.3.5, 3.4.3, and 3.5.9. Upgrade to the patched release on your branch (3.5.x → 3.5.9, 3.4.x → 3.4.3, 3.0/3.1/3.2/3.3.x → 3.3.5, 2.x → 2.7.14). The fix applies the same certFingerprint != null && !isMitMProof() guard to the initial-handshake path before writing the auth response, refusing to send a mysql_clear_password (or any non-MITM-proof) response on an as-yet-unverified certificate, matching the auth-switch path.

Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade immediately, pin the server certificate (serverSslCert= the real CA / server cert). With a pinned certificate the self-signed certificate of a man-in-the-middle is rejected at the TLS layer before any password is transmitted.

The victim takes no unusual action; the developer explicitly enabled TLS verification expecting exactly this protection.\n\n### Patches\n\nFixed in 2.7.14, 3.3.5, 3.4.3, and 3.5.9. Upgrade to the patched release on your branch (3.5.x \u2192 3.5.9, 3.4.x \u2192 3.4.3, 3.0/3.1/3.2/3.3.x \u2192 3.3.5, 2.x \u2192 2.7.14). The fix applies the same certFingerprint != null \u0026\u0026 !isMitMProof() guard to the initial-handshake path before writing the auth response, refusing to send a mysql_clear_password (or any non-MITM-proof) response on an as-yet-unverified certificate, matching the auth-switch path.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nIf you cannot upgrade immediately, pin the server certificate (serverSslCert= the real CA / server cert). With a pinned certificate the self-signed certificate of a man-in-the-middle is rejected at the TLS layer before any password is transmitted.\n\nCredit\n\nReported by haaahaaahiihiiii",

24 vulnerabilities in this advisory, including CVE-2026-55856.

CVE-2026-55856

A flaw was found in MariaDB Connector/J. An active man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacker or hostile server can exploit a vulnerability during the initial connection handshake. When a Java application connects using specific SSL modes without proper certificate configuration, the connector may accept an untrusted self-signed certificate. This allows the MITM to receive the full database password in cleartext before the connection is rejected, leading to sensitive information disclosure.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
