CVSS 3.0
8.1 highCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2018-10936
High (8.1). EPSS 2.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.postgresql:pgjdbc-aggregate 42.2.5.
A weakness was found in postgresql-jdbc before version 42.2.5. It was possible to provide an SSL Factory and not check the host name if a host name verifier was not provided to the driver. This could lead to a condition where a man-in-the-middle attacker could masquerade as a trusted server by providing a certificate for the wrong host, as long as it was signed by a trusted CA.
