### Official description

Integer wraparound in PostgreSQL 32-bit builds of pltcl and plperl allows an object creator to cause the server to undersize an allocation and write out-of-bounds via crafted function bodies.  This may execute arbitrary code as the operating system user running the database.  CVE-2026-6473 had fixed similar problems.  Versions before PostgreSQL 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.

Weakness: CWE-190 (Integer Overflow or Wraparound)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-14677 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-14677 is a high-severity vulnerability in Postgresql Postgresql, published on 13 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-14677 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- postgresql (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 14.24.0, 15.19.0, 16.15.0, 17.11.0, 18.5.0

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.
