GHSA-ghp8-52vx-77j4: OS Command Injection
First published: Fri Sep 22 2023(Updated: )
A flaw was found in pgAdmin. This issue occurs when the pgAdmin server HTTP API validates the path a user selects to external PostgreSQL utilities such as pg_dump and pg_restore. Versions of pgAdmin prior to 7.7 failed to properly control the server code executed on this API, allowing an authenticated user to run arbitrary commands on the server.
| Affected Software | Affected Version | How to fix |
|---|---|---|
| pip/pgadmin4 | <7.7 | 7.7 |
