PostgreSQL 8.1 and probably later versions, when the PL/pgSQL (plpgsql) language has been created, grants certain plpgsql privileges to the PUBLIC domain, which allows remote attackers to create and execute functions, as demonstrated by functions that perform local brute-force password guessing attacks, which may evade intrusion detection.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes PostgreSQL installations where PL/pgSQL was enabled and overly broad PUBLIC privileges let remote users create and run database functions. The cited impact is abuse for local password-guessing activity that could avoid network intrusion detection. Evidence is old and incomplete, with no CVSS score or precise fixed-version data in the bundle. Exposure is most likely on legacy PostgreSQL databases where PL/pgSQL was created and PUBLIC retains broad language or function-related privileges. The bundle lists PostgreSQL 8.1 and probably later versions, but does not provide exact affected or fixed releases. Treat this as a legacy database hardening issue. It is not supported by current active-exploitation evidence, but exposed or unsupported PostgreSQL systems with broad PUBLIC privileges deserve prompt review because the abuse happens inside trusted database channels. Mitigation focus: Check PostgreSQL vendor guidance and distribution advisories for supported fixed packages.; Audit PL/pgSQL privileges granted to PUBLIC on legacy PostgreSQL databases.; Remove unnecessary PUBLIC privileges only according to PostgreSQL and vendor guidance..
