Description
PostgreSQL versions prior to 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14, 13.17, and 12.21 have an incomplete tracking issue with row-level security policies. This flaw allows a reused query to view or modify rows it should not access due to incorrect application of row security policies when queries are planned under one role and executed under others. The vulnerability affects databases using CREATE POLICY for row security and involves scenarios with subqueries, WITH queries, security invoker views, or SQL-language functions referencing tables with row-level security. Exploitation requires tailoring to specific application query plan reuse and role changes.
