CVE-2026-25212Network attack vector

Authenticated OS command execution via privileged datasource

Published Apr 2, 2026 · Updated Apr 2, 2026

Remote code execution in Percona PMM before 3.7.0 allows remote authenticated users with pmm-admin rights to run OS commands. The Add data source feature exposes an internal PostgreSQL data source whose database account retains superuser privileges, allowing crafted SQL to escape the database context into shell execution. Successful exploitation requires pmm-admin access to PMM Server and yields command execution on that server; the public record identifies no lower-privilege path.
