PostgreSQL is vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE). Due to a flaw found in the way PostgreSQL enforced permission checks on scripts written in PL/Tcl, if the PL/Tcl procedural language was registered on a particular database, an authenticated database user running a specially-crafted PL/Tcl script could use this flaw to bypass intended PL/Tcl trusted mode restrictions, allowing them to run arbitrary Tcl scripts with the privileges of the database server.
