SCA: security update for org.postgresql:postgresql (GHSA-hq9p-pm7w-8p54)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437067

Description

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

- pgjdbc is an open source postgresql JDBC Driver. From 42.7.4 and until 42.7.7, when the PostgreSQL JDBC
driver is configured with channel binding set to required (default value is prefer), the driver would
incorrectly allow connections to proceed with authentication methods that do not support channel binding
(such as password, MD5, GSS, or SSPI authentication). This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to
intercept connections that users believed were protected by channel binding requirements. This
vulnerability is fixed in 42.7.7. (CVE-2025-49146)
