CVE-2025-0218
Last modified
CVE-2025-0218 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
