The version of Pgbouncer running on the remote host is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability due to a flaw in the start_auth_request() function within file client.c when handling requests for invalid users. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to bypass authentication and log into PostgreSQL via Pgbouncer using a random user name.
