Improper Certificate Validation

org.mariadb.jdbc:mariadb-java-client is vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation. The vulnerability is due to improper certificate fingerprint validation during the initial TLS handshake, which allows an active man-in-the-middle attacker or malicious server to present a self-signed certifica...

org.mariadb:r2dbc-mariadb vulnerable to cleartext password disclosure to a man-in-the-middle server (clear-text auth plugins not gated on a secure transport)

Summary The connector does not gate clear-text password authentication plugins on transport encryption. A hostile or man-in-the-middle MariaDB server can request a clear-text plugin over an unencrypted plain-TCP connection, and the driver responds with the user's password in cleartext on the wire...
