CVE-2007-6600 describes a privilege escalation vulnerability in PostgreSQL versions 8.2.6 and earlier, 8.1.11 and earlier, 8.0.15 and earlier, 7.4.19 and earlier, and 7.3.21 and earlier. This flaw allows authenticated users to gain elevated privileges by exploiting how VACUUM and ANALYZE operations, or SET ROLE and SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands, are handled within index functions, which incorrectly execute with superuser privileges instead of table owner privileges. With a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium), this vulnerability has a low attack complexity and could lead to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog.
