Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-11 16:17 - Updated: 2026-06-17 11:02

Severity

4.8 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Summary

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in pgAdmin 4 Browser Tree and Explain Visualizer modules. User-controlled PostgreSQL object names (database, schema, table, column, etc.) were assigned to DOM elements via innerHTML, allowing crafted object names containing HTML markup to execute attacker-supplied JavaScript in the browser of any pgAdmin user who navigated to or executed EXPLAIN over the malicious object. Fix replaces innerHTML with textContent. This issue affects pgAdmin 4: before 9.15.
