    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-12819
    Debian Bug     :

    PgBouncer is a lightweight connection pooler for PostgreSQL.

    CVE-2025-12819

        Untrusted search path in auth_query connection handler in PgBouncer before
        1.25.1 allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary SQL during
        authentication via a malicious search_path parameter in the StartupMessage.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    1.15.0-1+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pgbouncer packages.

    For the detailed security status of pgbouncer please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/pgbouncer
