PostgreSQL 9.3-11.7 – Remote Code Execution (RCE) (Authenticated)

This exploit allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable PostgreSQL server. The exploit uses a base64 encoded payload which is passed to the PostgreSQL server via a SELECT statement. The payload is then decoded and executed on the server.

Mitigation:

Ensure that all users have the least privileges necessary to perform their tasks. Additionally, ensure that all PostgreSQL servers are running the latest version of the software.
