high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462286

Description

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

 - Type confusion with PostgreSQL "internal" data type arguments allows any user to execute arbitrary code as
 the operating system user running the database, via calls to functions with that argument type. Type
 "internal" represents a class of mutually-incompatible data structures not intended for access from SQL.
 The system intended to prevent such function calls, but this prevention had gaps. Versions before
