CVE-2026-49004

Summary

The flaw allows local attackers to exploit misconfigured PostgreSQL service command injection vulnerabilities to gain full root access on affected devices.

Exploitability

Exploitation requires root privileges and knowledge of weak credentials but is relatively straightforward given the service's misconfiguration.

Blast radius

If exploited, the impact could be severe, leading to complete control over the device and potential data exfiltration or system compromise.

Prioritized remediation

Update and secure the PostgreSQL service by changing default credentials and limiting its privileges to non-root levels.
