Network-accessible endpoint requires a low-privilege authenticated pgAdmin session; scope is unchanged because injected SQL stays within the user's existing database role, yielding only low integrity and no confidentiality or availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

SQL injection in pgAdmin 4's named restore point endpoint (POST /browser/server/restore_point/{gid}/{sid}). The user-supplied 'value' field was interpolated directly into the SQL string with str.format() instead of being passed as a bound parameter, allowing an authenticated pgAdmin user with a connected PostgreSQL session to inject additional statements through that endpoint.

The injected SQL executes under the database role the user is already authenticated as. The defect does not cross a privilege boundary -- the user already has direct SQL access to that role through the Query Tool -- so the attacker gains no capability beyond what their database role already grants them. The marginal impact accounts for the fact that the injection path is not the documented SQL-execution interface, so a deployment that gates the Query Tool at the application layer could see SQL executed through a path it did not anticipate.

Fix passes the restore point name as a bound parameter and schema-qualifies the function call as pg_catalog.pg_create_restore_point so a non-default search_path on the connection cannot redirect the call to a shadow definition. A regression test asserts the value arrives as a bound parameter and not spliced into the SQL string.

This issue affects pgAdmin 4: from 1.0 before 9.16.

AnalysisAI

Low-severity SQL injection in pgAdmin 4's named restore point endpoint (POST /browser/server/restore_point/{gid}/{sid}) allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary SQL statements, but only within the privileges of their existing database role. The vulnerability is patched in pgAdmin 4 9.16, with no evidence of active exploitation (EPSS 0.21%, no KEV) and low real-world risk due to the absence of privilege escalation.

Technical ContextAI

pgAdmin 4 is a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL. The vulnerability is in the REST API endpoint that creates named restore points via PostgreSQL's pg_create_restore_point() function. The user-supplied 'value' field was interpolated directly into the SQL query using Python's str.format() instead of being passed as a bound parameter (CWE-89). The fix uses a parameterized query with %s placeholder and schema-qualifies the function call as pg_catalog.pg_create_restore_point to prevent search_path manipulation. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:pgadmin.org:pgadmin_4:*, affecting all versions before 9.16.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to pgAdmin 4 version 9.16 or later, which contains the fix. The patch commit (https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/commit/3379c39865d3ab6f52afce97361fb16bcdd77cd2) replaces the vulnerable string formatting with a parameterized query and schema-qualifies the function call. No workarounds are necessary given the low impact and availability of a patch. For deployments that cannot immediately upgrade, restricting network access to the restore_point endpoint or disabling the endpoint via a reverse proxy may be considered, though these measures would disrupt legitimate functionality.
