Fixed in: 3.9.7

Update to the fixed version for your release line, for example:npm install mysql2@3.9.7

Versions of the package mysql2 before 3.9.7 are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection due to improper sanitization of the timezone parameter in the readCodeFor function by calling a native MySQL Server date/time function.

Is GHSA-4rch-2fh8-94vw in any of your client repos?

Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected mysql2, and gives you the command that fixes it.
