Echo: org.postgresql:postgresql: security update to 42.7.12

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 459806

Description

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

 - pgjdbc is an open source postgresql JDBC Driver. In releases 42.7.4 through 42.7.11,
 channelBinding=require connections can be silently downgraded from SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS with channel binding
 to plain SCRAM-SHA-256 without it, losing the man-in-the-middle protection the setting is meant to
 guarantee. An attacker who can intercept the TLS connection can trigger the downgrade with a certificate
 whose signature algorithm has no tls-server-end-point channel-binding hash, because the bundled
 com.ongres.scram:scram-client returns an empty byte array instead of failing and pgJDBC ScramAuthenticator
 checks only that the server advertised a PLUS mechanism, without rejecting the empty binding or checking
 that the negotiated mechanism uses channel binding. This issue is fixed in version 42.7.12.
 (CVE-2026-54291)

Solution

Update the org.postgresql:postgresql library and its related packages to version 42.7.12 or later.
