Description
Description
pgEdge Postgres MCP Server enables SQL queries against PostgreSQL databases through Model Context Protocol compatible clients. Prior to 1.1.0, custom pl-do tools interpolated JSON arguments into a PostgreSQL DO block delimited by fixed dollar-quote tags. An argument containing $mcp_custom_tool$ could terminate the block and inject arbitrary SQL statements, while $mcp_args$ could inject procedural code into a plpgsql block. Because the statement used the simple query protocol, injected text could include additional statements and transaction control, bypassing read_only and accessing data or modifying resources available to the connecting role. The issue requires at least one pl-do custom tool; sql and pl-func tools pass arguments as bind parameters and are not affected by this injection mechanism. This issue is fixed in 1.1.0.

Exploitability
CWE
KEV
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-89 | The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. |
