CVE-2021-33204
In the pg_partman (aka PG Partition Manager) extension before 4.5.1 for PostgreSQL, arbitrary code execution can be achieved via SECURITY DEFINER functions because an explicit search_path is not set.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.20%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
