Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
pgAdmin 4 versions before 9.15 are vulnerable to SQL injection in the Maintenance Tool, where four user-supplied JSON fields were concatenated directly into VACUUM, ANALYZE, and REINDEX commands. An authenticated user with the tools_maintenance permission could execute arbitrary SQL on the connected PostgreSQL server, and potentially run operating-system commands on the database host. Upgrade to pgAdmin 4 version 9.15 or later, which adds server-side allow-listing of the affected fields.
