Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-12 14:32:00 UTC
Uncontrolled search path element in PostgreSQL CREATE EXTENSION allows an attacker with database-level CREATE privilege to execute arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser, via ALTER SCHEMA ... RENAME or CREATE EXTENSION ... SCHEMA "$user".  ALTER EXTENSION was also affected.  A trusted-extension script located the wrong object and executed arbitrary SQL of the attacker's choice.  Versions before PostgreSQL 18.7, 17.12, 16.16, 15.20, and 14.25 are affected.
