Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
🚨 **Essence**: Critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) in pgAdmin 4.…
🛡️ **Root Cause**: Unsafe use of the `eval()` function. ⚠️ **Flaw**: Parameters are passed directly to `eval` without proper sanitization. This allows malicious input to be interpreted as executable Python code.…
📦 **Product**: pgAdmin 4. 📅 **Affected Versions**: All versions **prior to 9.2**. 🏢 **Vendor**: pgadmin.org. If you are running version 8.10 through 9.1, you are vulnerable.
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
💀 **Privileges**: Full Remote Code Execution (RCE). 🗄️ **Data Impact**: Complete access to the underlying server OS. Hackers can read, modify, or delete any data, install backdoors, or pivot to other internal systems.…
🔓 **Public Exploits**: YES. Multiple PoCs are available on GitHub (e.g., `CVE-2025-2945_PgAdmin_PoC`, `pgAdminOpendoor`). 🚀 **Metasploit**: A module exists in the Metasploit Framework.…
🩹 **Fix**: Upgrade to **pgAdmin 4 version 9.2 or later**. The vendor has released a patch that sanitizes the input and removes the unsafe `eval` usage. This is the only official remediation.
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
🚧 **Workaround**: If patching is impossible: 1. **Disable** the Query Tool feature if not needed. 2. Restrict access to pgAdmin via **Firewall/WAF** (only allow trusted IPs). 3.…
🔥 **Priority**: **CRITICAL / URGENT**. ⏳ **Time**: Published April 2025. With public PoCs and Metasploit modules, active exploitation is imminent. Patch immediately to prevent server takeover.
