CVE-2026-14673
Last modified
CVE-2026-14673 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Untrusted search path in PostgreSQL amcheck allows a grantee of amcheck function EXECUTE privilege to execute arbitrary functions as the owners of expression indexes that depend on the search path, via setting a hostile search path before calling the amcheck function. Within major versions 18, 16, 15, and 14, minor versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
