The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on November 13, 2025. The issue specifically impacts the pgAdmin database management system when operating in server mode (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the server hosting pgAdmin through the manipulation of PLAIN-format dump files during restore operations. The severity of this vulnerability is rated as CRITICAL with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1, with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:L (NVD).

Impact

The vulnerability poses a critical risk to the integrity and security of the database management system and underlying data. It enables attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the server hosting pgAdmin, potentially compromising the entire system (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

The issue is being tracked for resolution in pgAdmin version 9.10. A proposed mitigation strategy involves blocking the restore operation if the PLAIN SQL file contains any meta-commands (GitHub Issue).
