Machine-written summary

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

The Advanced JDBC Wrapper for Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL, versions before 2.6.5, is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A low-privilege authenticated user can create a crafted function that runs with the permissions of other RDS users, allowing escalation to the rds_superuser role. Upgrade to version 2.6.5 or later.
