critical Nessus Plugin ID 275843

Language:

Synopsis

The pgAdmin instance installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of pgAdmin installed on the remote host is prior to 9.10. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

- pgAdmin versions prior to 9.10 are affected by a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability that occurs when running in server mode and performing restores from PLAIN-format dump files. This issue allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the server hosting pgAdmin, posing a critical risk to the integrity and security of the database management system and underlying data. (CVE-2025-12762)

- pgAdmin versions prior to 9.10 is affected by an LDAP injection vulnerability in the LDAP authentication flow that allows an attacker to inject special LDAP characters in the username, causing the DC/LDAP server and the client to process an unusual amount of data DOS. (CVE-2025-12764)

- pgAdmin versions prior to 9.10 is affected by a vulnerability in the LDAP authentication mechanism allows bypassing TLS certificate verification. (CVE-2025-12765)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade pgAdmin to version 9.10 or later.
