AI-Generated

PostgreSQL is vulnerable to SQL injection through the EXTRACT() deparse function, allowing an object owner to execute arbitrary SQL commands with superuser privileges via malicious object definitions. This vulnerability impacts various expression deparse consumers, including pg_dump and psql commands, posing a significant risk to database integrity and security. Organizations using affected versions prior to PostgreSQL 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 should prioritize immediate patching to mitigate potential exploitation.
