Superuser code execution via shadowed multiplication operator
Published Feb 11, 2026 · Updated Feb 11, 2026
Privilege escalation in DALIBO PostgreSQL Anonymizer before 3.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute code as a superuser. During CREATE EXTENSION, random.sql evaluates an unqualified multiplication operator in a superuser context, allowing a same-signature operator in a writable search_path schema to intercept execution. PostgreSQL 14 exposes public this way by default; on 15 and later, exploitation requires a superuser to add such a schema to search_path and grant untrusted users CREATE.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
