Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2022-26520
DESCRIPTION:   ** DISPUTED ** In pgjdbc before 42.3.3, an attacker (who controls the jdbc URL or properties) can call java.util.logging.FileHandler to write to arbitrary files through the loggerFile and loggerLevel connection properties. An example situation is that an attacker could create an executable JSP file under a Tomcat web root. NOTE: the vendor's position is that there is no pgjdbc vulnerability; instead, it is a vulnerability for any application to use the pgjdbc driver with untrusted connection properties.

CVEID:   CVE-2022-21724
DESCRIPTION:   PostgreSQL JDBC Driver (PgJDBC) could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unchecked class instantiation when providing plugin classes. By sending a specially-crafted request using the "authenticationPluginClassName", "sslhostnameverifier", "socketFactory", "sslfactory", "sslpasswordcallback" classes, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
