Category:Privilege escalation
Title:PostgreSQL 10.x < 10.21, 11.x < 11.16, 12.x < 12.11, 13.x < 13.7, 14.x < 14.3 Privilege Escalation Vulnerability - Windows
Summary:PostgreSQL is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
PostgreSQL is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
Autovacuum, REINDEX, CREATE INDEX, REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW,
CLUSTER, and pg_amcheck made incomplete efforts to operate safely when a privileged user is
maintaining another user's objects. Those commands activated relevant protections too late or not
at all.

Vulnerability Impact:
An attacker having permission to create non-temp objects in at
least one schema could execute arbitrary SQL functions under a superuser identity.

Affected Software/OS:
PostgreSQL version 10.x, 11.x, 12.x, 13.x and 14.x.

Solution:
Update to version 10.21, 11.16, 12.11, 13.7, 14.3 or later.

CVSS Score:
9.0
