8.6 HIGH

Restricted mode is designed to gate untrusted query input, so PR:N is defensible; bypassing that authority to read host files is a scope change (S:C) with confidentiality-only impact (C:H, I/A:N).

CRITICAL 9.2

DescriptionCVE.org

Postgres MCP Pro 0.3.0 contains a restricted-mode bypass vulnerability where function-name validation is not applied to RangeFunction nodes in FROM clauses. Attackers can execute file-reading functions like pg_read_file through FROM-clause syntax to read arbitrary files despite restricted-mode protections.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file read in Postgres MCP Pro 0.3.0 (crystaldba/postgres-mcp) lets attackers bypass restricted-mode SQL safeguards by invoking file-reading functions such as pg_read_file inside FROM-clause RangeFunction nodes, which the function-name allowlist fails to inspect. Any client able to submit queries to the MCP server can therefore read files accessible to the PostgreSQL service account despite the tool's safety controls. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires that the target run Postgres MCP Pro 0.3.0 with restricted mode enabled (the very control being bypassed) and that the attacker can submit SQL query text to the MCP server, e.g. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (9.2, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/SC:H) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity read of high-value data with a scope/subsequent-system impact on the underlying host filesystem, which is a credible characterization of a restricted-mode bypass. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data - the references point to the project repository and an open GitHub issue (#178), not to a tagged fixed release, so upgrade guidance cannot cite a confirmed version; monitor https://github.com/crystaldba/postgres-mcp for a release that extends function-name validation to RangeFunction/FROM-clause nodes. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Immediately restrict network access to all Postgres MCP Pro 0.3.0 instances to trusted hosts only and audit query logs for suspicious activity. …
