CVE-2017-15098

27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-15098 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting PostgreSQL versions 9.3.x through 10.x, where invalid calls to json_populate_recordset or jsonb_populate_recordset functions can lead to server crashes or limited memory disclosure. With a CVSS score of 8.1, it presents a network-based attack vector with low complexity, allowing an authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially leak sensitive information. While no public exploits or Metasploit modules are available, and community discussion is minimal, organizations should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of server instability and data exposure.
