CVE-2026-126199: pgEdge Postgres MCP Server write confirmation skipped for writes that begin with a reading keyword
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: pgEdge pgedge-postgres-mcp 1.1.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to pgEdge pgedge-postgres-mcp 1.1.0 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
pgEdge Postgres MCP Server enables SQL queries against PostgreSQL databases through Model Context Protocol compatible clients. Prior to 1.1.0, the bundled CLI and web clients classified query_database statements only by their first keyword before deciding whether to display a write confirmation. SELECT INTO, data-modifying common table expressions beginning with WITH, and EXPLAIN ANALYZE of a write were treated as reads and could execute without confirmation on an allow_writes connection. Read-only connections remain protected by PostgreSQL transaction access mode, and EXPLAIN without ANALYZE and SELECT FOR UPDATE remain classified as reads. This issue is fixed in 1.1.0.
