Subject: pgsql: pg_createsubscriber: Obstruct SQL injection via subscription nam
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 12:19:37 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wMPbl-0002Ub-1k@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

pg_createsubscriber: Obstruct SQL injection via subscription names.

drop_existing_subscription() neglected to escape the subscription
name when generating its query string.  To fix, use
PQescapeIdentifier() to construct a properly escaped name, and use
it in the ALTER SUBSCRIPTION and DROP SUBSCRIPTION commands.
