Technical details
A missing authentication check (CWE-306) exists in pgAdmin 4 when running in SERVER mode. The application relies on the '@pga_login_required' decorator to enforce authentication on a per-route basis, but several routes were identified as missing this decorator. Specifically, the Constraints blueprint (nodes, proplist, and delete routes), preferences.get_all_cli, debugger.close, and schema_diff.close are affected. An unauthenticated network attacker can exploit these endpoints to enumerate metadata, delete table constraints via state-mutating DELETE requests, or terminate sessions belonging to other users. This issue was addressed in version 9.17 by applying the missing decorators.
