CVE-2026-126199
pgEdge Postgres MCP Server enables SQL queries against PostgreSQL databases through Model Context Protocol compatible clients. Prior to 1.1.0, the bundled CLI and web clients classified query_database statements only by their first keyword before deciding whether to display a write confirmation. SELECT INTO, data-modifying common table expressions beginning with WITH, and EXPLAIN ANALYZE of a write were treated as reads and could execute without confirmation on an allow_writes connection. Read-only connections remain protected by PostgreSQL transaction access mode, and EXPLAIN without ANALYZE and SELECT FOR UPDATE remain classified as reads. This issue is fixed in 1.1.0.

Affected products and versions
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.
