CVE-2025-0218

MEDIUM CVSS: 5.5 Published: 2025-01-07 Modified: 2026-06-17

Description

When batch jobs are executed by pgAgent, a script is created in a temporary directory and then executed. In versions of pgAgent prior to 4.2.3, an insufficiently seeded random number generator is used when generating the directory name, leading to the possibility for a local attacker to pre-create the directory and thus prevent pgAgent from executing jobs, disrupting scheduled tasks.

Affected Platforms
