CVE-2025-0218 (GCVE-0-2025-0218)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2025-01-07 19:18 – Updated: 2025-11-03 17:31
VLAI
Title
pgAgent scheduled batch job scripts are created in a predictable temporary directory potentially allowing a denial of service
Summary
When batch jobs are executed by pgAgent, a script is created in a temporary directory and then executed. In versions of pgAgent prior to 4.2.3, an insufficiently seeded random number generator is used when generating the directory name, leading to the possibility for a local attacker to pre-create the directory and thus prevent pgAgent from executing jobs, disrupting scheduled tasks.
