A malformed message can make the parser report success while leaving a required value unset, which is then dereferenced as a NULL pointer. The crash occurs before any credential is verified, so no valid account is required. Because PgBouncer serves all clients from a single process, this terminates every pooled connection.","published":"2026-09-23T17:17:15.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-23T19:40:10.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"f86ef6dc-4d3a-42ad-8f28-e6d5547a5007","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-476"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00392,"percentile":0.33198,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-24","score":0.00392,"percentile":0.3049}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.39%).
