Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-6238 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: pgadmin.org pgAdmin 4. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6238/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6238/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6238","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-783m-7jjf-pmgr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Database management tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can gain unauthorized access to the pgAdmin 4 installation directory on Debian or RHEL 8 due to improper permissions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"PostgreSQL","cpe":[{"product":"pgadmin_4","vendor":"pgadmin"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"pgAdmin \u003c= 8.8 has an installation Directory permission issue. Because of this issue, attackers can gain unauthorised access to the installation directory on the Debian or RHEL 8 platforms.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"pgAdmin 4 Installation Directory permission issue","id":"CVE-2024-6238","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"misconfiguration","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Poppler: pdfinfo: crash in broken documents when using -dests parameter","id":"CVE-2024-6239"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"389-ds-base: unauthenticated user can trigger a dos by sending a specific extended search request","id":"CVE-2024-6237"},"products":["pgAdmin 4"],"published":"2024-06-25","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"pgAdmin 4: Remote Code Execution in Query Tool and Cloud Deployment","id":"CVE-2025-2945","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-03"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"OAuth2 client id and secret exposed through the web browser in pgAdmin 4","id":"CVE-2024-9014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-23"},{"cvss_score":9.5,"headline":"Deserialization in pgAdmin 4","id":"CVE-2026-12046","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-18"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"SQL injection in pgAdmin 4","id":"CVE-2026-17351","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-31"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Command injection in pgAdmin 4","id":"CVE-2026-17566","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-31"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"pgAdmin 4: AI Assistant read-only transaction bypass allows unauthorised writes and remote code execution","id":"CVE-2026-12045","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-18"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"pgAdmin 4: Cross-user data access and shared-server privilege escalation in server mode","id":"CVE-2026-7813","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-30","vendors":["pgadmin.org"]},"summary":"Attackers can gain unauthorized access to the pgAdmin 4 installation directory on Debian or RHEL 8 due to improper permissions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6238/"}
