CVE-2026-104948: WarehousePG missing authorization in cluster expansion functions

CVE-2026-104948 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-21

WarehousePG is a distributed database system that manages data across multiple server nodes. Versions 6.27.1 through 6.27.6 and 7.2.1 through 7.6.0 contain authorization flaws in cluster expansion functions that allow any authenticated database user to block catalog changes (DDL, role creation, grants) for all users including administrators, or repeatedly disconnect sessions, causing operational disruption and requiring administrator intervention to restore service.

Technologies: EnterpriseDB WarehousePG. Vendors: EnterpriseDB.

Technical details

Two built-in functions, gp_expand_lock_catalog() and gp_expand_bump_version(), lack privilege checks and can be called by any authenticated database role. An attacker can invoke gp_expand_lock_catalog() within a transaction to block catalog modifications cluster-wide, or repeatedly call gp_expand_bump_version() to disconnect sessions holding temporary tables and force segment connection rebuilds, effectively causing denial of service to legitimate users and requiring superuser intervention.
