AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately upgrade the PostgreSQL Anonymizer extension to version 3.0.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Review and harden schema permissions by ensuring that the public schema does not grant CREATE privileges to non-superusers, especially on PostgreSQL 14 or upgraded instances. Avoid adding custom schemas with CREATE privileges for untrusted users in the search_path. Implement strict role-based access controls limiting who can create operators or extensions. Regularly audit database roles and permissions to detect misconfigurations. Employ monitoring and alerting for unusual extension creation or operator definition activities. Consider isolating critical databases and applying network segmentation to limit exposure. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups and test recovery procedures to mitigate potential data loss from exploitation.

Description

PostgreSQL Anonymizer contains a vulnerability that allows a user to gain superuser privileges by creating a custom operator in the public schema and place malicious code in that operator. This operator will later be executed with superuser privileges when the extension is created. 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 if a superuser adds a new schema in her/his own search_path and grants the CREATE privilege on that schema to untrusted users, both actions being clearly discouraged by the PostgreSQL documentation. The problem is resolved in PostgreSQL Anonymizer 3.0.1 and further versions
