CVE-2026-126198
pgEdge Postgres MCP Server enables SQL queries against PostgreSQL databases through Model Context Protocol compatible clients. Prior to 1.1.0, the bundled clients, including the CLI and web client, decided whether to request write confirmation by checking only for the query_database tool name instead of server-published write annotations. Custom pl-do, pl-func, and writing sql tools therefore ran without confirmation on allow_writes connections, including when a model followed instructions in retrieved content. The affected control is a bundled-client warning rather than a server authorization boundary, and other MCP clients do not inherit that prompt. This issue is fixed in 1.1.0.

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.
Remediation & validation
- Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
- Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
- Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
- Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.
No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
