CVSS 3.1 Score 8.0 of 10 (high)
Details
Summary
CVE-2024-0985 is a vulnerability in PostgreSQL versions before 15.6, 14.11, 13.14, and 12.18 that allows an object creator to execute arbitrary SQL functions as the command issuer. This vulnerability can be exploited by luring a victim, who is a superuser or member of the attacker's roles, into running the "REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY" command on the attacker's materialized view. As a result, the attacker can create functions to convert the internally-built temporary table to a view using CREATE RULE. The known exploit does not work in PostgreSQL 16 and later versions. Organizations using affected versions should update to PostgreSQL 15.6, 14.11, 13.14, or 12.18 to remediate this vulnerability and prevent potential unauthorized execution of SQL functions with elevated privileges.
