QID 983078

QID 983078: Java (maven) Security Update for org.postgresql:pgjdbc-aggregate (GHSA-568q-9fw5-28wf)

A weakness was found in postgresql-jdbc before version 42.2.5. It was possible to provide an SSL Factory and not check the host name if a host name verifier was not provided to the driver. This could lead to a condition where a man-in-the-middle attacker could masquerade as a trusted server by providing a certificate for the wrong host, as long as it was signed by a trusted CA.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
