AI-suggested
Organizations should immediately upgrade all affected AWS Wrappers to the patched versions provided by AWS: JDBC Wrapper to v2.6.5, Go Wrapper to 2025-10-17, NodeJS Wrapper to v2.0.1, Python Wrapper to v1.4.0, and PGSQL ODBC driver to v1.0.1. Additionally, review and restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary, implement strict authentication and access controls to limit low-privilege user capabilities, and monitor database logs for unusual function creation or privilege escalation attempts. Employ network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict access to RDS instances. Regularly audit wrapper versions and configurations to ensure compliance with security best practices. Consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) or database activity monitoring (DAM) tools to detect and block suspicious behavior related to function execution and privilege escalation.
Description
An issue in AWS Wrappers for Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL may allow for privilege escalation to rds_superuser role. A low privilege authenticated user can create a crafted function that could be executed with permissions of other Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) users. We recommend customers upgrade to the following versions: AWS JDBC Wrapper to v2.6.5, AWS Go Wrapper to 2025-10-17, AWS NodeJS Wrapper to v2.0.1, AWS Python Wrapper to v1.4.0 and AWS PGSQL ODBC driver to v1.0.1
