Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.94%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Interaction error in the PostgreSQL JDBC driver before 8.2, when used with a PostgreSQL server with the "standard_conforming_strings" option enabled, such as the default configuration of PostgreSQL 9.1, does not properly escape unspecified JDBC statement parameters, which allows remote attackers to perform SQL injection attacks. NOTE: as of 20120330, it was claimed that the upstream developer planned to dispute this issue, but an official dispute has not been posted as of 20121005.
