Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: CVE-2025-1094 is a critical SQL Injection flaw in PostgreSQL's `libpq` client library. π **Consequences**: Improper handling of quote syntax allows attackers to bypass input boundaries.β¦
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: CWE-149 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation). The flaw lies in `libpq` escape functions (`PQescapeLiteral`, `PQescapeString`, etc.).β¦
π₯ **Affected**: PostgreSQL systems using `libpq` client libraries. π¦ Specifically, applications that use the result of escape functions to construct input for `psql` (the interactive terminal).β¦
π΅οΈ **Attacker Capabilities**: Hackers can inject malicious SQL commands. π» They can read sensitive files (e.g., `/etc/passwd`). π Crucially, they can escalate to **Remote Code Execution (RCE)**.β¦
π£ **Public Exploits**: YES. Multiple PoCs are available on GitHub. π Examples: `soltanali0/CVE-2025-1094-Exploit` and `shacojx/CVE-2025-1094-Exploit`. π These scripts demonstrate SQLi β WebSocket Hijacking β RCE.β¦
π **Self-Check**: Scan for PostgreSQL instances using `libpq` with `BIG5` encoding settings. π§ͺ Test if application input is passed directly to `psql` after escaping.β¦
π§ **No Patch Workaround**: Avoid using `psql` with dynamically constructed inputs from escaped strings. π Disable `BIG5` encoding if not strictly necessary.β¦
