Summary

Type confusion with PostgreSQL "internal" data type arguments allows any user to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via calls to functions with that argument type. Type "internal" represents a class of mutually-incompatible data structures not intended for access from SQL. The system intended to prevent such function calls, but this prevention had gaps. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.

Risk Assessment

Any database user can gain full control over the server, potentially leading to complete system and data compromise.

Recommendation

Update PostgreSQL to the latest patched version. Restrict user privileges to call functions with the "internal" type.
