Postgresql · Postgresql Jdbc Driver · CVE-2012-1618
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** PostgreSQL JDBC driver versions prior to 8.2 **Description** The issue arises from an interaction error in the PostgreSQL JDBC driver when used with a PostgreSQL server that has the "standard conforming strings" option enabled. This error allows remote attackers to perform SQL injection attacks due to the improper escaping of unspecified JDBC statement parameters. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 8.2, update to version 8.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of unspecified JDBC statement parameters until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive database operations to minimize the risk of exploitation.
