Doc Text:
A flaw was found in PostgreSQL's reindexdb utility. An authenticated database user with privileges to create objects can execute arbitrary SQL commands with the permissions of the database user running the utility. This issue occurs when crafted index names are improperly sanitized during parallel catalog queries when reindexdb is executed with the --jobs and --index options.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-12 14:32:14 UTC
SQL injection in PostgreSQL reindexdb allows an object creator to execute arbitrary SQL as the database user running reindexdb, via a crafted index name embedded in the parallel catalog query for --jobs with --index.  Within major versions 17-18, minor versions before PostgreSQL 18.7 and 17.12 are affected.  Versions before PostgreSQL 17 are unaffected.
