## Summary MariaDB Connector/J checked a server's LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE file request by searching the text of the command it had sent for . The search also matched inside quoted identifiers, string literals and comments, so text returned by the server and re-used in a later query could satisfy it. A rogue or MitM server can read any file the client JVM can read. ## Details When a server answers a command with a LOCAL INFILE request ( packet), the connector opens the named file on the client host and streams it to the server, after verifying that the file corresponds to a of the command it sent ( ). That verification was a regular expression whose prefix accepted any character, so it answered "does the text appear anywhere in the SQL", including inside a backtick-quoted identifier. Several driver paths put identifiers returned by the server straight back into their next query: and re-use database and table names from , and the clause of output, and updatable result sets build their and refresh from the schema and table names of the column definition packets. A server returning an identifier such as is a workaround when LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE is not needed. No integrity or availability impact. ## Credit Reported by buxuwa (buxu) through HackerOne
