CVE-2026-120142— PostgreSQL dropped-column type confusion executes arbitrary code
Quick assessment
Affected
n/a PostgreSQL
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
PostgreSQL 匿名 RECORD 类型中存在类型混淆漏洞，允许对象创建者利用具有相同位置但宽度或对齐方式不同的已删除属性的行类型，以运行数据库的操作系统用户身份执行任意代码。在 17 至 18 主版本范围内，PostgreSQL 18.7 和 17.12 之前的次版本均受此漏洞影响；PostgreSQL 17 之前的版本不受影响。

Vulnerability Title
PostgreSQL dropped-column type confusion executes arbitrary code
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Type confusion in PostgreSQL anonymous RECORD types allows an object creator to execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database, via row types having dropped attributes in the same positions but with different widths or alignments. Within major versions 17-18, minor versions before PostgreSQL 18.7 and 17.12 are affected. Versions before PostgreSQL 17 are unaffected.
