What is CVE-2022-1552?

A flaw exists within PostgreSQL that allows a privileged user operating on another user's objects to sidestep essential protections during certain database commands. Commands like Autovacuum, REINDEX, CREATE INDEX, REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW, CLUSTER, and pg_amcheck may activate protections inadequately or too late. Consequently, an attacker with permissions to create non-temporary objects in a schema can execute arbitrary SQL functions with superuser rights, potentially compromising database integrity.
