CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2025-58450 — pREST (PostgreSQL REST), is an API that delivers an application on top of a Postgres database

Critical CVSS 9.3

pREST (PostgreSQL REST), is an API that delivers an application on top of a Postgres database. SQL injection is possible in versions prior to 2.0.0-rc3. The validation present in versions prior to 2.0.0-rc3 does not provide adequate protection from injection attempts. Version 2.0.0-rc3 contains a patch to mitigate such attempts.

Matched remediation archetype

SQL and data-query injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace request, message, file, and stored values into SQL, ORM query fragments, filters, sort expressions, and other data-query languages.
  • Inventory database roles, reachable schemas, multi-tenant boundaries, and whether stacked or administrative operations are enabled.
  • Check both direct queries and second-order use of previously stored values.

Remediate safely

  • Use parameterized queries or safe query builders for all values; map identifiers and operators through explicit allowlists.
  • Remove raw query concatenation and give the application account only the tables and operations it requires.
  • Update affected data-access components and add regression tests for query structure preservation with inert edge-case inputs.
