CVE-2026-6479
Uncontrolled recursion in PostgreSQL SSL and GSS negotiation allows an attacker able to connect to a PostgreSQL AF_UNIX socket to achieve sustained denial of service. If SSL and GSS are both disabled, an attacker can do the same via access to a PostgreSQL TCP socket. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.4, 17.10, 16.14, 15.18, and 14.23 are affected.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.60%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 47
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
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).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access45 % - Impacto principal
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact85 %
Recursión incontrolada en negociación SSL/GSS de PostgreSQL causa DoS sostenido. Vector CVSS indica AV:N (red remota), pero requiere conexión a socket AF_UNIX o TCP de PostgreSQL; T1190 es menos probable que T1210 (servicio remoto requiere acceso previo o red adyacente). Impacto: agotamiento de recu
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.
