CVE-2024-9014Network attack vector

OAuth2 credential disclosure via browser-rendered configuration

Published Sep 23, 2024 · Updated Sep 23, 2024

Credential exposure in OAuth2 authentication in pgAdmin 4 before 8.12 allows remote attackers to obtain the configured client ID and secret. The server renders these OAuth2 application credentials into content delivered to the web browser, where unauthenticated visitors can retrieve them. Exposure requires OAuth2 to be configured and can enable unauthorized access to data available through the affected OAuth2 client.
