Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-49146)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to when the PostgreSQL JDBC driver is configured with channel binding set to required (default value is prefer), the driver would incorrectly allow connections to proceed with authentication methods that do not support channel binding (such as password, MD5, GSS, or SSPI authentication). A remote attacker can intercept connections that users believed were protected by channel binding requirements.
