SCA: security update for pgadmin4 (GHSA-hp84-p2gq-6fvr)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442103

Description

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

 - SQL injection vulnerability in pgAdmin 4 Maintenance Tool. Four user-supplied JSON fields
 (buffer_usage_limit, vacuum_parallel, vacuum_index_cleanup, reindex_tablespace) were concatenated directly
 into the rendered VACUUM/ANALYZE/REINDEX command and passed to psql --command. An authenticated user with
 the tools_maintenance permission could break out of the option syntax and execute arbitrary SQL on the
 connected PostgreSQL server. The injected SQL could in turn invoke COPY ... TO PROGRAM to escalate to
 operating-system command execution on the database host. Fix introduces server-side allow-listing of all
 four fields and switches reindex_tablespace from manual quoting to the qtIdent filter. This issue affects
 pgAdmin 4: before 9.15. (CVE-2026-7815)

Solution

Update the pgadmin4 library and its related packages to version 9.15 or later.
