Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-31 18:32 – Updated: 2026-07-31 18:32

Details

Fix forces the cloned adhoc record's ownership fields (user_id, shared, shared_username) and stored credential fields (password, save_password, tunnel_password) to belong to the calling user and be cleared/private before committing, regardless of the source server's ownership, sharing state, or stored credentials. A regression test asserts that an adhoc connect triggered by a non-owner against another user's shared server persists a row owned by the caller, not shared, and without the source's stored credentials.

This issue affects pgAdmin 4: from 9.0 before 9.17.

CVE-2026-17349 (GCVE-0-2026-17349)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-07-31 15:59 – Updated: 2026-08-01 03:56

Title

pgAdmin 4: Adhoc server clone leaks another user's stored database credentials and ownership to a non-owner

Summary

/misc/workspace/adhoc_connect_server, part of the Workspaces feature introduced in pgAdmin 4 9.0, when passed the id of an existing server, clones that server via Server.clone(), which copies every column from the source row, including user_id, shared, shared_username, and the stored credential fields password, save_password, and tunnel_password. When a non-owner triggered an adhoc connect against another user's (in practice, typically an administrator's) shared server, the clone inherited that user's ownership, shared flag, and stored database credentials verbatim. pgAdmin persisted this cross-tenant, credential-bearing server row before the connection was even attempted, so it survived even when the connection subsequently failed. The non-owner could then open the newly-owned clone and pgAdmin would connect using the source user's stored database password on the non-owner's behalf, granting the non-owner use of database credentials -- and whatever database privileges they confer -- that were never their own. Fix forces the cloned adhoc record's ownership fields (user_id, shared, shared_username) and stored credential fields (password, save_password, tunnel_password) to belong to the calling user and be cleared/private before committing, regardless of the source server's ownership, sharing state, or stored credentials. A regression test asserts that an adhoc connect triggered by a non-owner against another user's shared server persists a row owned by the caller, not shared, and without the source's stored credentials. This issue affects pgAdmin 4: from 9.0 before 9.17.

No special privilege beyond ordinary authenticated access is needed, and no interaction from the victim is required. Scope is Changed: the attacker\u0027s own pgAdmin authorization does not itself grant use of the source user\u0027s stored database credentials, so gaining and using those credentials crosses into another user\u0027s security authority -- specifically the database privileges the source user\u0027s stored credentials confer, which may substantially exceed the attacker\u0027s own. Confidentiality and Integrity are High because the attacker obtains a working, reusable database credential and can use it to read/write whatever the source user\u0027s database role permits.
