"value": "The MASTER_PASSWORD_HOOK setting, introduced in pgAdmin 4 7.2, lets an administrator configure an external command that returns a per-user encryption key, with %u in the configured string replaced by the current user's name. The previous implementation substituted the username directly into the command string and executed the result with subprocess.Popen(..., shell=True). Because the username can originate from an external authentication source (OAuth/OIDC claims, Kerberos, webserver auth) rather than a value pgAdmin fully controls, a username containing shell metacharacters (';', '$()', backticks, pipes, '&&', newlines) allowed an authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands as the pgAdmin service account in any deployment where the configured hook string uses %u.\n\nFix tokenises the trusted, administrator-configured hook string into an argument vector first (using shlex in POSIX-quoting mode, with backslash-escaping disabled so Windows-style paths are not mis-parsed), substitutes the untrusted username into the individual argv elements, and executes with shell=False. The username is therefore always confined to a single argv element; any shell metacharacters it contains are inert. Administrators whose MASTER_PASSWORD_HOOK previously relied on shell features (pipes, redirection, environment-variable expansion, globbing) within the hook string itself must move that logic into the invoked script, since it is no longer interpreted by a shell.\n\nThis issue affects pgAdmin 4: from 7.2 before 9.17."

"value": "Threat model (per reporter's submitted rating): an authenticated pgAdmin user whose username is sourced from an external identity provider (OAuth/OIDC, Kerberos, or webserver auth passed through to pgAdmin) in a deployment where MASTER_PASSWORD_HOOK's configured string contains %u. Attack Complexity is High because exploitation depends on this non-default configuration (hook enabled with %u, combined with an external-auth username source under attacker influence) rather than being reachable in a default deployment. Scope is Unchanged: the resulting command execution runs as the pgAdmin service account, which is the same security authority the web application process itself already runs under -- it is a consequence of pgAdmin's own process, not a boundary crossing into an unrelated authority. Confidentiality/Integrity/Availability are High because arbitrary command execution as that account can read, modify, or destroy anything the account can reach."
