SQL Shock: PostgreSQL Zero-Day Chaos Unleashed!
Threat actors are exploiting a zero-day SQL injection vulnerability in PostgreSQL, identified as CVE-2025-1094. Discovered by Rapid7, this flaw lets attackers inject malicious SQL commands, potentially leading to full system control. PostgreSQL has since patched the issue, but not before hackers had a field day with it.
Hot Take:
Looks like the hackers had a “PostgreSQL” of a time with this zero-day! It’s a classic case of “who left the back door open?” with BeyondTrust’s remote support instances playing the role of the unsuspecting house party. I guess it’s true what they say: if you give a hacker an SQL injection vulnerability, they’ll take a mile… or maybe a Treasury Department!
Key Points:
- Zero-day SQL injection flaw discovered in PostgreSQL, tracked as CVE-2025-1094.
- Rapid7 researchers identified the flaw during an investigation into BeyondTrust’s previously patched vulnerability.
- The flaw affects PostgreSQL’s psql tool, allowing potential remote code execution.
- Vulnerable PostgreSQL versions range from before 17.3 to 13.19.
- Patch released for affected PostgreSQL versions to address the flaw.
