AI-suggested
The vulnerability is fixed in pgAdmin 4 version 9.15 by replacing innerHTML with textContent. If you cannot patch yet, users should avoid interacting with untrusted PostgreSQL objects with potentially malicious names. Monitor pgAdmin.org for updates and apply the official fix once released.
Description
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in pgAdmin 4 Browser Tree and Explain Visualizer modules. User-controlled PostgreSQL object names (database, schema, table, column, etc.) were assigned to DOM elements via innerHTML, allowing crafted object names containing HTML markup to execute attacker-supplied JavaScript in the browser of any pgAdmin user who navigated to or executed EXPLAIN over the malicious object. Fix replaces innerHTML with textContent. This issue affects pgAdmin 4: before 9.15.
