CVE-2024-0985
CVSS 3.1 Score 8.0 of 10 (high)
Details
Summary
CVE-2024-0985 is a newly disclosed vulnerability in PostgreSQL that permits an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL functions with the privileges of the command issuer, despite the intended execution as the materialized view owner. Affected versions include those before PostgreSQL 16.2, 15.6, 14.11, 13.14, and 12.18. This issue arises due to a late privilege drop during the REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY process. An attacker can manipulate this by luring a superuser or a member of their role into refreshing a materialized view that the attacker controls, thereby gaining elevated privileges.
