Unsupported Version

Issue Type

Operational

Problem

Like all software, MySQL has version releases and support windows. Once a version has passed this window it will normally cease to receive updates and security fixes.

Remediation

Update your MySQL database to a supported version, preferably MySQL 8.x.

If you know that the version you're running is due to reach end of support soon, start planning to upgrade now. Sometimes the upgrade process can take a significant amount of time to prepare for (especially if you're using a particularly old version).
