Severity

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

PostgreSQL Anonymizer doesn't mask data returned by a sub-query in a rule. The problem is resolved in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.3.0 and later versions.

Severity

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

PostgreSQL Anonymizer contains a vulnerability related to anonymization functions defined using SQL-standard function bodies. PostgreSQL analyses such functions at declaration time, while Anonymizer only attempts to check them at execution time. This problem can be exploited by any user with the TEMPORARY privilege. The issue is fixed in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.3.0 and later versions.

Infoleak
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

PostgreSQL Anonymizer doesn't invalidate plans prepared after a rule was added or a role changed. Users using such plans can still see the unmasked data until the end of the session. The problem is resolved in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.3.0 and later versions.

Infoleak
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

PostgreSQL restricts acces to the salt and shift via the SHOW command for users not member of pgreadallsettings. But they are visible in pgdbrolesetting or pgroles if they were set on the database, user or both. PostgreSQL Anonymizer's documentation recommends to use ALTER DATABASE / ALTER ROLE for the salt. The problem is resolved in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.3.0 and later versions.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N

PostgreSQL's optimized statistics on a table are visible as long as you have SELECT privilege on said table. A masked role can therefore read a limited subset of the data through the statistics view's histograms and mcvs. The vulnerability is resolved in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.3.0 and later versions.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L

PostgreSQL Anonymizer's range-based dummy functions dont constraint the range size. This vulnerability can be exploited to exhaust the memory of a backend and OOM-kill it (when ovecommit is on), which results in a cluster-wide crash recovery. The problem is resolved in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.3.0 and later versions.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L

PostgreSQL Anonymizer's anon.imageblur() function doesn't check the declared dimension of the provided image, allowing an attacker to provide a small image with enormous declared dimensions. This vulnerability can be exploited to exhaust the memory of a backend and OOM-kill it (when ovecommit is on), which results in a cluster-wide crash recovery. The problem is resolved in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.3.0 and later versions.

AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

PostgreSQL Anonymizer contains a vulnerability in the anon.anonymizedatabaseparallel() function that allows the owner of a table to run arbitrary code with superuser privilege. The issue is fixed in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.2.0 and later versions

SQL Injection
AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

PostgreSQL Anonymizer contains a SQL injection vulnerability in two import functions. A user can create a malicious JSON document containing specially crafted object names. If a superuser subsequently calls anon.importdatabaserules() or anon.importrolesrules(), the malicious code is executed with superuser privileges. The issue is fixed in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.1.4 and later

SQL Injection
AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

PostgreSQL Anonymizer contains a vulnerability that allows a user to gain superuser privileges by creating a table and placing malicious code inside a column identifier. If a superuser calls the k-anonymity function, the malicious code is executed with superuser privileges. The risk is higher with PostgreSQL 14 or with instances upgraded from PostgreSQL 14 or a prior version. With PostgreSQL 15 and later, the creation permission on the public schema is revoked by default and this exploit can only be achieved by a user who was explicitly granted the CREATE TABLE privilege. The problem is resolved in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.1.0 and further versions
