CVE-2025-2946: pgAdmin 4 Vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via Query Result Rendering
pgAdmin
CVSS 9.1 Critical EPSS 0.3% · p24
Should you act?
Critical, preconditions apply
Severe if exploited, but exploitation needs conditions that may not apply to you. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.
- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 0.3%, percentile 24: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.3% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 24% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (low (any account)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes
pgadmin4(PyPI) < 9.2, fixed in 9.2. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
