[UPDATE] [high] pgAdmin: Multiple vulnerabilities
A remote, authenticated attacker can exploit multiple vulnerabilities in pgAdmin to execute arbitrary code with user or administrator privileges, bypass security measures, conduct SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks, redirect users to malicious websites, disclose confidential information, or manipulate data.
CSIRTS triage
- What
- Multiple vulnerabilities allow remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code, bypass security, conduct SQL injection and XSS attacks, and disclose information.
- Who is affected
- pgAdmin deployments exposed to remote authenticated users.
- Urgency
- High severity; multiple attack vectors including code execution.
- Action
- Apply pgAdmin security patches for CVE-2026-12045, CVE-2026-12046, CVE-2026-12047, CVE-2026-12048, CVE-2026-12049, CVE-2026-12044, and CVE-2026-12050.
