CVE-2026-7813
CriticalSummary
Authorization vulnerability in pgAdmin 4 server mode allows access to private objects of other users without proper filtering. An authenticated user could access another user's private servers, server groups, and background processes by guessing object IDs.
Risk Assessment
The organization may be exposed to unauthorized access to sensitive data and privilege escalation, potentially leading to arbitrary command execution in the owner's process context.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update pgAdmin 4 to the latest version to patch this vulnerability and implement additional access control mechanisms for user objects.
Original NVD description (English source)
Authorization vulnerability in pgAdmin 4 server mode affecting Server Groups, Servers, Shared Servers, Background Processes, and Debugger modules. Multiple endpoints fetched user-owned objects without filtering by the requesting user's identity. An authenticated user could access another user's private servers, server groups, background processes, and debugger function arguments by guessing object IDs. Additionally, the Shared Servers feature contained multiple issues including credential leakage (passexec_cmd, passfile, SSL keys), privilege escalation via writable passexec_cmd (a shell command executed when establishing the connection) allowing arbitrary command execution in the owner's process context, and owner-data corruption via SQLAlchemy session mutations. Several owner-only fields (passexec_cmd, passexec_expiration, db_res, db_res_type) were writable by non-owners through the API, and additional fields (kerberos_conn, tags, post_connection_sql) lacked per-user persistence so
