Percentile

68.8%

The version of PostgreSQL installed on the remote host is 11 prior to 11.20, 12 prior to 12.15, 13 prior to 13.11, 14 prior to 14.8, or 15 prior to 15.3. As such, it is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  • CREATE SCHEMA … schema_element defeats protective search_path changesmore details (CVE-2023-2454)

  • Row security policies disregard user ID changes after inliningmore details (CVE-2023-2455)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
