CVE-2026-6471

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.2)—

Missing authorization in PostgreSQL logical decoding allows a non-superuser holding REPLICATION privilege to dlopen any file visible to the operating system account running the server, via the choice of logical decoding plugin. This in turn runs arbitrary code as that account. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.

CVSS

Versión: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Puntuación base: 7.2

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.53%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 43
Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

AV:N, PR:H, acceso remoto con privilegios: T1210. El atacante con REPLICATION carga plugins arbitrarios (dlopen) ejecutando código como la cuenta del servidor, logrando escalada (T1068) y ejecución de comandos (T1059).

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
