On this page
pgEdge Control Plane is a distributed application for managing and orchestrating Postgres databases across multiple hosts. From 0.1.0 to 0.10.1, generated pg_hba.conf files began with hard-coded trust entries for Unix-socket and loopback connections. Because PostgreSQL evaluates the file from top to bottom, those entries also preempted operator-supplied rules in the pg_hba_conf field. Under the systemd orchestrator, any unprivileged operating-system account on a database host could authenticate as any PostgreSQL role, including the superuser, without credentials and obtain full control of the host's databases. Under Docker Swarm, reaching the container-local socket or loopback interface required code execution inside the database container. Publishing the PostgreSQL port to the host did not expose these trust rules because host connections did not appear to originate from 127.0.0.1 or ::1. This issue is fixed in version 0.11.0.
