Client-file disclosure via unchecked LOAD_LOCAL packets
Published Oct 22, 2025 · Updated Oct 22, 2025
File disclosure in aio-libs aiomysql before 0.3.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary client files through a rogue MySQL server. The LOAD_LOCAL packet handler sends the server-selected path without checking the connection's false local_infile setting. Exploitation requires the application to connect to an attacker-controlled or compromised MySQL server, which can exfiltrate files readable by the client process.
