postgrex is vulnerable to Code Injection
80
High Risk
This Affects:
postgrexTL;DR
Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to code injection due to improper handling of byte lengths in the PostgreSQL binary protocol. Clients that fail to check the length of bytes before encoding the 4-length bytes allow attackers to send data greater than 2^32, causing an overflow. This overflow enables the smuggling of an additional message, potentially leading to code execution or other malicious behavior.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
Background info
postgrex is vulnerable to Code Injection in versions 0.7.0 - 0.19.1.
