Security Summary
CVE-2023-1907 is a vulnerability in pgAdmin, specifically affecting instances running in server mode with LDAP authentication. It occurs when multiple connection attempts happen simultaneously, causing a logging user to be attached to another user's session. The issue is associated with CWE-488 (inconsistent interpretations of HTTP requests) and CWE-276 (incorrect default permissions), and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.0 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).
A low-privileged authenticated user (PR:L) can exploit this over the network (AV:N), though it requires high attack complexity (AC:H) and user interaction (UI:R). Successful exploitation allows the attacker to hijack another user's session, resulting in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with a changed scope (S:C) that may affect additional resources.
