high Tenable Self-Hosted Container 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.See Also
