Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
pgjdbc versions 42.7.11 through 42.7.13
Description
The PostgreSQL JDBC Driver fails to enforce restrictions when the
requireAuth connection property excludes all six known authentication methods (e.g., requireAuth=!password,!md5,!gss,!sspi,!scram-sha-256,!none) or when the property is set to an empty value or a single comma. In these cases, the driver accepts any authentication method requested by the server, including cleartext password authentication. This allows an attacker positioned between the application and the server to request cleartext authentication and obtain the database password.Recommendations
Update to version 42.7.14.
Avoid using the
requireAuth property with a value that excludes all authentication methods or is left empty.Exploit
