Doc Text:
A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. An attacker with `pg_create_subscription` rights can exploit a SQL injection vulnerability in the `pg_createsubscriber` utility. This allows the attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands with superuser privileges when `pg_createsubscriber` is next run, leading to potential compromise of the database system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-14 14:01:36 UTC
SQL injection in PostgreSQL pg_createsubscriber allows an attacker with pg_create_subscription rights to execute arbitrary SQL as a superuser.  The attack takes effect when pg_createsubscriber next runs.  Within major versions 17 and 18, minor versions before PostgreSQL 18.4 and 17.10 are affected.  Versions before PostgreSQL 17 are unaffected.
