Apache ShardingSphere-Proxy: Incomplete Cleanup
CVE-2022-45347 is a critical-severity incomplete cleanup vulnerability in Apache ShardingSphere-Proxy from Apache, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 5.3.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Apache ShardingSphere-Proxy to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 1.48% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 74% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update Apache ShardingSphere-Proxy to 5.3.0 or a later version.
- Update Shardingsphere to 5.3.0 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on lists.apache.org for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Apache ShardingSphere-Proxy prior to 5.3.0 when using MySQL as database backend didn't cleanup the database session completely after client authentication failed, which allowed an attacker to execute normal commands by constructing a special MySQL client. This vulnerability has been fixed in Apache ShardingSphere 5.3.0.
