SCA: security update for github.com/jackc/pgx, github.com/jackc/pgx/v4 (GHSA-m7wr-2xf7-cm9p)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416823

Description

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

 - pgx is a PostgreSQL driver and toolkit for Go. Prior to version 4.18.2, SQL injection can occur when all
 of the following conditions are met: the non-default simple protocol is used; a placeholder for a numeric
 value must be immediately preceded by a minus; there must be a second placeholder for a string value after
 the first placeholder; both must be on the same line; and both parameter values must be user-controlled.
 The problem is resolved in v4.18.2. As a workaround, do not use the simple protocol or do not place a
 minus directly before a placeholder. (CVE-2024-27289)

Solution

Update the github.com/jackc/pgx library and its related packages to version 4.18.2 or later.
