description

PostgreSQL versions before 18.7, 17.12, 16.16, 15.20, and 14.25 are affected by type confusion in SQL-language functions. A user permitted to create a relevant database object may be able to execute operating-system commands as the account running the database service.

mitigation

Upgrade PostgreSQL to 18.7, 17.12, 16.16, 15.20, or 14.25, as appropriate for the supported major version. Until upgraded, restrict object-creation privileges to trusted roles.

fixed in 18.7, 17.12, 16.16, 15.20, 14.25
