Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 28 Aug 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released an important security update for postgresql16 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and related variants. Users should apply the update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:14826 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 to remediate the vulnerabilities. No alternative mitigations or workarounds are specified. Patch status is confirmed as available via the official Red Hat update.

Description

This security update provides a functional equivalent of RHSA-2025:14862. The original Red Hat(R) advisory is available from the Red Hat web site at https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:14862.

Impact

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code during the restore operation of PostgreSQL databases. This could lead to unauthorized code execution on affected systems running vulnerable versions of PostgreSQL. The advisory does not report known exploits in the wild at the time of publication.

Summary

This advisory covers multiple vulnerabilities in PostgreSQL, specifically CVE-2025-4207, CVE-2025-8714, and CVE-2025-8715, which allow arbitrary code execution during restore operations. The vulnerabilities affect the postgresql16 package on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and its variants across multiple architectures including x86_64, s390x, ppc64le, and aarch64. Red Hat has released an important security update (RHSA-2025:14826) to address these issues. No CVSS scores are provided in the advisory, but the severity is rated as important by Red Hat Product Security. The update includes fixes for the vulnerabilities and is available for installation.

The product imports, requires, or includes executable functionality (such as a library) from a source that is outside of the intended control sphere.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
Architecture and Design · Enforcement by Conversion
When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.
Architecture and Design
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks…

The product uses CRLF (carriage return line feeds) as a special element, e.g. to separate lines or records, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes CRLF sequences from inputs.
Implementation
Avoid using CRLF as a special sequence.
Implementation
Appropriately filter or quote CRLF sequences in user-controlled input.
