Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

A low-privilege authenticated user of Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL can create a crafted function that runs with the permissions of other RDS users, allowing escalation to the rds_superuser role. This affects the AWS Advanced Go Wrapper packages, including awssql before 1.1.1 and the other listed wrapper modules before 1.0.2. Upgrade awssql to 1.1.1 and the other affected modules to 1.0.2.
