      <title>CVE-2026-12045 — pgAdmin 4: AI Assistant read-only transaction bypass allows unauthorised writes and remote code execution</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/cve-2026-12045</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; pgadmin.org pgAdmin 4&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Read-only transaction bypass in the pgAdmin 4 AI Assistant allows an attacker who can influence database content that the assistant reads to execute arbitrary SQL with the privileges of the pgAdmin user&amp;#39;s database role.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The AI Assistant&amp;#39;s execute_sql_query tool runs LLM-generated SQL inside a BEGIN TRANSACTION READ ONLY wrapper to prevent data modification. The LLM-supplied query was forwarded to the database driver without restriction to a single statement or to read-only verbs, so a multi-statement payload beginning with COMMIT, END, ROLLBACK, or ABORT terminated the read-only transaction and ran subsequent statements in autocommit mode. The trailing ROLLBACK then had no effect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Delivery is via prompt injection: an attacker who can write content into any object the AI Assistant may inspect (a row, a column value, a comment) can cause the LLM to emit the multi-statement payload as a tool call. With ordinary write privileges on the pgAdmin user&amp;#39;s role the attacker can perform unauthorised data modification. When the pgAdmin user&amp;#39;s role is a PostgreSQL superuser or holds pg_execute_server_program, the chain extends to remote code execution on the database server host via COPY ... TO PROGRAM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix validates the LLM-supplied query up front: it must parse to exactly one non-empty / non-comment statement whose leading real token (after stripping whitespace, comments, and punctuation) is one of SELECT, WITH, EXPLAIN, SHOW, VALUES, or TABLE. Transaction-control verbs, DML, DDL, C…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
