CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA type confusion vulnerability in PostgreSQL allows any user to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the operating system user running the database, due to improper handling of "internal" data type arguments. This flaw can lead to severe security breaches, enabling unauthorized access and control over the database environment. Organizations using affected PostgreSQL versions should prioritize patching to mitigate potential exploitation risks.
Original NVD Description
Type confusion with PostgreSQL "internal" data type arguments allows any user to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via calls to functions with that argument type. Type "internal" represents a class of mutually-incompatible data structures not intended for access from SQL. The system intended to prevent such function calls, but this prevention had gaps. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
