This error seems to start showing up after upgrade of the connector to 8.0.33,
How do I downgrade back to the previous version please???

This is to confirm that DOWNGRADING from 8.0.33 version of NET connector using the Mysql installer fixed the problem.
Y'all should try downgrading too.

    I'm having the same error but I don't see how to downgrade the version. How were you able to downgrade? I don't see that option. Did you uninstall and then find an older version to install? Thanks!

    We cannot downgrade from 8.0.33 because the lower version is vulnerable to log4j.  There as got to be real fix out there.
