Open-Source Plugin Privilege Escalation Has Vulnerability Risk for PostgreSQL
Last updated: 2023-07-06 15:11:51
We have detected that Wiz, an external security organization, disclosed a privilege escalation vulnerability in an open-source PostgreSQL database extension. This vulnerability allows attackers with database login privileges and operable extensions to execute arbitrary functions for system command execution.
Impacts
Affected TencentDB for PostgreSQL extensions include but are not limited to the following:
pg_cron
adminpack
amcheck
file_fdw
pageinspect
pg_surgery
pg_visibility
pg_cron
pg_bigm
postgis
postgis_raster
postgis_sfcgal
postgis_tiger_geocoder
postgis_topology
timescaledb
zhparser
tencentdb_stat
plv8
babelfishpg_common
babelfishpg_money
babelfishpg_tds
babelfishpg_tsql
tencentdb_superuser
tencentdb_stat
btree_gist
cube
citext
hstore
intagg
intarray
ltree
pg_trgm
seg
Suggestions
Currently, we haven’t observed the abuse of this vulnerability in TencentDB for PostgreSQL. But considering extension risks, we are fixing the affected products. We will disable the creation and the upgrade of these extensions after 18:00 on April 20, 2023. The created extensions can still be used without affecting the normal use of other features for the instance. You can upgrade minor version in a self-service manner in the TencentDB for PostgreSQL console to restore the use of extensions after April 27, 2023. As the system will be restarted during the upgrade, ensure that your business has a reconnection mechanism. For more information, see Upgrading Kernel Minor Version. If you need to use such extensions, submit a ticket.
