Subject: PostgreSQL and CREATEROLE permission
Hi Everyone,
This information showed up on the pgsql-general mailing list at [1].
It appears a user with CREATEROLE can elevate to root through
pg_execute_server_program.[2]
It looks like PostgreSQL folks will be changing a recommendation and
modifying behavior at v16.[3] Here is the commit of interest: [4].
Changes will not be made for previously released versions of
PostgreSQL.[3]
PostgreSQL does not have a hardening guide. I would hate to see the
nugget lost in a mailing list message or change log entry.
