SQL injection in ADOdb PostgreSQL driver pg_insert_id() method
Improper escaping of a query parameter may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL statements when the code using ADOdb connects to a PostgreSQL database and calls pg_insert_id() with user-supplied data. Note that the indicated Severity corresponds to a worst-case usage scenario. ### Impact PostgreSQL drivers (postgres64, postgres7, postgres8, postgres9). ### Patches Vulnerability is fixed in ADOdb 5.22.9 (11107d6d6e5160b62e05dff8a3a2678cf0e3a426). ### Workarounds Only pass controlled data to pg_insert_id() method's $fieldname parameter, or escape it with pg_escape_identifier() first. ### References - Issue https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb/issues/1070 - [Blog post](https://xaliom.blogspot.com/2025/05/from-sast-to-cve-2025-46337.html) by Marco Nappi ### Credits Thanks to Marco Nappi (@mrcnpp) for reporting this vulnerability.
