Exposed PostgreSQL instances are the target of an ongoing campaign designed to gain unauthorized access and deploy cryptocurrency miners. Cloud security firm Wiz said the activity is a variant of an intrusion set that was first flagged by Aqua Security in August 2024 that involved the use of a malware strain dubbed PG_MEM. The campaign has been attributed to a threat actor Wiz tracks as
A vulnerability in the h2oai/h2o-3 REST API versions 3.46.0.4 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via deserialization of untrusted data. The vulnerability exists in the endpoints POST /99/ImportSQLTable and POST /3/SaveToHiveTable, where user-controlled JDBC URLs are passed to DriverManager.getConnection, leading to deserialization if a MySQL or PostgreSQL driver is available in the classpath. This issue is fixed in version 3.46.0.6.
UAT-5918, a threat actor believed to be motivated by establishing long-term access for information theft, uses a combination of web shells and open-sourced tooling to conduct post-compromise activities to establish persistence in victim environments for information theft and credential harvesting.

Threat actors who were behind the exploitation of a zero-day vulnerability in BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access (PRA) and Remote Support (RS) products in December 2024 likely also exploited a previously unknown SQL injection flaw in PostgreSQL, according to findings from Rapid7. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-1094 (CVSS score: 8.1), affects the PostgreSQL interactive tool psql. "An
In this article, you’ll learn about the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) tool and how we take advantage of it to implement system and application monitoring for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.What is Performance Co-Pilot (PCP)PCP is an open source performance monitoring and analysis framework developed by Red Hat. It provides a suite of tools, libraries and services to monitor, retrieve and analyze performance metrics from different systems, services and applications. PCP is designed for scalability, enabling it to monitor anything from a single server to a large, distributed network of machi
Improper Authorization vulnerability in Apache Superset. On Postgres analytic databases an attacker with SQLLab access can craft a specially designed SQL DML statement that is Incorrectly identified as a read-only query, enabling its execution. Non postgres analytics database connections and postgres analytics database connections set with a readonly user (advised) are not vulnerable. This issue affects Apache Superset: before 4.1.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.0, which fixes the issue.
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in Apache Superset. Specifically, certain engine-specific functions are not checked, which allows attackers to bypass Apache Superset's SQL authorization. This issue is a follow-up to CVE-2024-39887 with additional disallowed PostgreSQL functions now included: query_to_xml_and_xmlschema, table_to_xml, table_to_xml_and_xmlschema. This issue affects Apache Superset: <4.1.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.1.0, which fixes the issue or add these Postgres functions to the config set DISALLOWED_SQL_FUNCTIONS.
### Summary Exposure of database (ie postgreSQL) server's credential when connection to DB fails. ### Details Exposed database credentials upon misconfig/DoS @ permalink: https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/blob/main/phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/Setup/Installer.php#L694 ### PoC When postgreSQL server is unreachable, an error would be thrown exposing the credentials of the database. For instance, when "http://<phpmyfaq-instance>:8080/setup/index.php" is hit when the database instance/server is down, then credentials are exposed, for instance: ``` ( ! ) Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connection to server at "127.0.0.1", port 5432 failed: Connection refused Is the server running on that host and accepting TCP/IP connections? in /var/www/html/src/phpMyFAQ/Database/Pgsql.php on line 78 Call Stack # Time Memory Function Location 1 0.0404 453880 {main}( ) .../index.php:0 2 1.1341 610016 phpMyFAQ\Setup\Installer->startInstall( $setup = ??? ) .../index.php...
