# CVE-2026-107315: pgjdbc pads a value shorter than its declared length with bytes of earlier statements (rather than zeros)

> An attacker can read sensitive data from previous database statements if an application incorrectly declares parameter lengths, leaking information via buffer padding.

- **Severity:** Medium 5.3 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N`)
- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known
- **Login needed:** Any signed-in user
- **Attackable:** Over the internet
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed
- **Fix available:** Yes
- **Published:** 7 Oct 2026
- **Updated:** 8 Oct 2026
- **Also known as:** CLEANSTART-2026-SM93271, DEBIAN-CVE-2026-107315, GHSA-f64h-wr5q-3qf3, UBUNTU-CVE-2026-107315

## What is CVE-2026-107315?

CVE-2026-107315 is a medium-severity vulnerability in pgjdbc, published on 7 Oct 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

pgjdbc, the PostgreSQL JDBC Driver, versions 42.7.4 through 42.7.13 pads a value that is shorter than its declared length with bytes left in its send buffer instead of zeros, and the server stores those bytes as part of the value. The bytes are messages the driver sent earlier on the same connection: SQL text and parameter values of recent statements, which on a pooled connection can come from other requests. Each padded value can carry up to 8192 bytes of this traffic, or 16320 bytes on a connection with GSS encryption. The padding happens when an application declares a length larger than the data it supplies, through PreparedStatement.setObject with a ByteStreamWriter, CopyIn.writeToCopy, PGCopyOutputStream.write, LargeObject.write, or Blob.setBytes. The driver accepts these calls without an error. An attacker who can make the application store such a value and read it back can collect earlier traffic. Applications whose declared lengths always match their data are not affected. Versions 42.7.3 and earlier pad with zeros.

Weakness: CWE-226 (Sensitive Information in Resource Not Removed Before Reuse), CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2026-107315 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-107315 is a medium-severity vulnerability in pgjdbc, published on 7 Oct 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-107315 exists.

Affected product: pgjdbc. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
