Percentile

PostgreSQL is vulnerable to privilege escalation. The application does not properly check for execute permissions on the trigger functions that are marked SECURITY DEFINER and allows an authenticated database user to call the privileged trigger function on arbitrary data by installing the trigger on an attacker-owned table.
