SQL injection in PostgreSQL EXTRACT() deparse allows an object owner to execute arbitrary SQL as a superuser via a hostile object definition. Attacks affect expression deparse consumers broadly, including pg_dump, psql commands like \sf, and any similar usage in non-core tools. Versions before PostgreSQL 18.5, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
The CVSS severity warrants an early asset and exposure review.

Confirm exposure before applying a vendor-supported change.
Confirm that PostgreSQL, postgresql and an affected version are present.
Combine exploitation signals with asset exposure and business criticality.
Follow the vendor advisory or supported update path and preserve rollback options.
Recheck the version, service health, access paths, and relevant logs.
