pgAdmin versions 9.11 are affected by a Restore restriction bypass via key disclosure vulnerability that occurs when running in server mode and performing restores from PLAIN-format dump files. An attacker with access to the pgAdmin web interface can observe an active restore operation, extract the `\restrict` key in real time, and race the restore process by overwriting the restore script with a payload that re-enables meta-commands using `\unrestrict <key>`. This results in reliable command execution on the pgAdmin host during the restore operation.

The remote Fedora 42 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-651f0e2b32 advisory.

    Update to pgadmin-9.12.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-28db64f571 advisory.

    Update to pgadmin-9.12.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of pgAdmin installed on the remote host is prior to 9.12. It is, therefore, affected by command execution vulnerability:

  - pgAdmin versions prior to 9.12 are affected by a Restore restriction bypass via key disclosure     vulnerability that occurs when running in server mode and performing restores from PLAIN-format dump     files. An attacker with access to the pgAdmin web interface can observe an active restore operation,     extract the `\restrict` key in real time, and race the restore process by overwriting the restore script     with a payload that re-enables meta-commands using `\unrestrict <key>`. This results in reliable command     execution on the pgAdmin host during the restore operation. (CVE-2026-1707)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - pgAdmin versions 9.11 are affected by a Restore restriction bypass via key disclosure vulnerability that
    occurs when running in server mode and performing restores from PLAIN-format dump files. An attacker with
    access to the pgAdmin web interface can observe an active restore operation, extract the `\restrict` key
    in real time, and race the restore process by overwriting the restore script with a payload that re-
    enables meta-commands using `\unrestrict <key>`. This results in reliable command execution on the pgAdmin
    host during the restore operation. (CVE-2026-1707)
