CVE-2026-55765
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
CloudNativePG is a platform designed to manage PostgreSQL databases within Kubernetes environments. Prior to 1.28.4 and 1.29.2, CloudNativePG embedded cleartext role passwords in `ALTER ROLE` and `CREATE ROLE` statements generated by SetUserPassword in pkg/management/postgres/utils/roles.go and appendPasswordOption in internal/management/controller/roles/postgres.go. When pg_stat_statements was preloaded with track_utility enabled and an untrusted tenant held pg_monitor or pg_read_all_stats, the tenant could recover platform-managed superuser or application-owner passwords, reconnect through enabled superuser TCP access, and execute operating system commands in the database pod with `COPY ... FROM PROGRAM`. Clusters using SCRAM-SHA-256 verifiers in managed-role Secrets were not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 1.28.4, 1.29.2, and 1.30.0.

"value": "CloudNativePG es una plataforma diseñada para gestionar bases de datos PostgreSQL dentro de entornos Kubernetes. Antes de las versiones 1.28.4 y 1.29.2, CloudNativePG incrustaba contraseñas de rol en texto claro en las sentencias “ALTER ROLE” y “CREATE ROLE” generadas por SetUserPassword en pkg/management/postgres/utils/roles.go y appendPasswordOption en internal/management/controller/roles/postgres.go. Cuando pg_stat_statements se precargaba con track_utility habilitado y un inquilino no confiable poseía pg_monitor o pg_read_all_stats, el inquilino podía recuperar contraseñas de superusuario o de propietario de aplicación gestionadas por la plataforma, reconectarse a través del acceso TCP de superusuario habilitado y ejecutar comandos del sistema operativo en el pod de la base de datos con “COPY ... FROM PROGRAM”. Los clústeres que utilizaban verificadores SCRAM-SHA-256 en Secrets de rol gestionado no se vieron afectados. Este problema está solucionado en las versiones 1.28.4, 1.29.2 y 1.30.0."
