CVE-2022-21724 - Critical Severity Vulnerability
PostgreSQL JDBC Driver Postgresql
Library home page: https://jdbc.postgresql.org
Dependency Hierarchy: - :x: **postgresql-42.2.23.jar** (Vulnerable Library)
Found in HEAD commit: 2cda59cc9ba15234ad74bb5750717c564aad3b18
Found in base branch: master
pgjdbc is the offical PostgreSQL JDBC Driver. A security hole was found in the jdbc driver for postgresql database while doing security research. The system using the postgresql library will be attacked when attacker control the jdbc url or properties. pgjdbc instantiates plugin instances based on class names provided via `authenticationPluginClassName`, `sslhostnameverifier`, `socketFactory`, `sslfactory`, `sslpasswordcallback` connection properties. However, the driver did not verify if the class implements the expected interface before instantiating the class. This can lead to code execution loaded via arbitrary classes. Users using plugins are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
