CVE-2026-105620: PostgreSQL Anonymizer data masking bypass in sub-query rules

CVE-2026-105620 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-28

PostgreSQL Anonymizer is a tool that masks sensitive data in database queries according to configured rules. A flaw causes the masking rules to fail when sensitive data is returned through a sub-query, allowing that data to be exposed to unauthorized viewers. An attacker with database access could query data that should have been masked.

Technologies: Dalibo PostgreSQL Anonymizer. Vendors: Dalibo.

Technical details

PostgreSQL Anonymizer fails to apply masking rules to data returned by sub-queries, resulting in information disclosure. The vulnerability affects the masking mechanism when sensitive data is accessed indirectly through a sub-query within a rule. An attacker with database query privileges can retrieve masked data in plaintext by constructing queries that return results through sub-queries.
