Descriptions

The pgAdmin server includes an HTTP API that is intended to be used to validate the path a user selects to external PostgreSQL utilities such as pg_dump and pg_restore. The utility is executed by the server to determine what PostgreSQL version it is from. Versions of pgAdmin prior to 6.17 failed to properly secure this API, which could allow an unauthenticated user to call it with a path of their choosing, such as a UNC path to a server they control on a Windows machine. This would cause an appropriately named executable in the target path to be executed by the pgAdmin server.

El servidor pgAdmin incluye una API HTTP diseñada para validar la ruta que un usuario selecciona a las utilidades externas de PostgreSQL, como pg_dump y pg_restore. El servidor ejecuta la utilidad para determinar de qué versión de PostgreSQL proviene. Las versiones de pgAdmin anteriores a la 6.17 no lograron proteger adecuadamente esta API, lo que podría permitir que un usuario no autenticado la llame con una ruta de su elección, como una ruta UNC a un servidor que controla en una máquina con Windows. Esto haría que el servidor pgAdmin ejecutara un ejecutable con el nombre apropiado en la ruta de destino.
