Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: A critical info leak in **pgai** (Timescale's AI tool for PostgreSQL).β¦
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: **CWE-200** (Information Exposure). The flaw lies in how pgai handles secret management, failing to properly isolate or mask sensitive credentials during workflow execution.
Q3Who is affected? (Versions/Components)
π₯ **Affected**: Users of **pgai** by **Timescale**. Specifically, those using versions prior to the fix in commit `8eb356729c33560ce54b88b9a956960ad1e3ede8`. Any setup using pgai for RAG or semantic search is at risk.
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
π΅οΈ **Attacker Capabilities**: With **CVSS 3.1 (High)**, attackers can: 1. **Steal Secrets**: Extract all workflow secrets. 2. **Access GitHub**: Hijack **GITHUB_TOKENs** with write access. 3.β¦
π£ **Public Exploit**: **No PoC provided** in the data. However, given the low exploitation threshold and high impact, the risk of wild exploitation is **HIGH** once details are public.β¦
π **Self-Check**: 1. Review your **pgai** version. 2. Check if you use **GITHUB_TOKENs** in workflows. 3. Scan for exposed secrets in logs or API responses. 4. Verify if you are running the patched commit `8eb3567...`.
Q8Is it fixed officially? (Patch/Mitigation)
β **Official Fix**: **YES**. A fix is available via Pull Request **#742** and commit `8eb356729c33560ce54b88b9a956960ad1e3ede8`. Update pgai immediately to the patched version.
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
π§ **No Patch Workaround**: If you cannot update immediately: 1. **Rotate Tokens**: Immediately revoke and rotate any **GITHUB_TOKENs** used in pgai workflows. 2.β¦
β‘ **Urgency**: **CRITICAL**. With **CVSS H/I:H/A:N** and no auth required, this is a **Priority 1** issue. Patch immediately to prevent credential theft and potential repository compromise.
