MySQL client is too old

[xSehrMotiviert]

Error message I got from the server:

code: 'ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_AUTH_MODE',
errno: 1251,
sqlMessage: 'Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client',
sqlState: '08004',
fatal: true

MySQL Server version: 8.0.33
NodeJS Version: v18.15.0
NPM Version: 9.5.0
Package Version: ^5.2.0

Any known fix for this?

The package isn't maintained anymore same for the mysql main package.
but you can use mysql2 which also has a promise wrapper and is up to date
