CVE-2020-25694
High 8.1
In plain English
A high-severity broken cryptography in postgresql. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 1.6% (higher than 76% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
A flaw was found in PostgreSQL versions before 13.1, before 12.5, before 11.10, before 10.15, before 9.6.20 and before 9.5.24. If a client application that creates additional database connections only reuses the basic connection parameters while dropping security-relevant parameters, an opportunity for a man-in-the-middle attack, or the ability to observe clear-text transmissions, could exist. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
