# CVE-2026-116325: PostgreSQL reindexdb index name quoting allows SQL injection

Status: published. Published: 2026-11-12. Updated: 2026-11-12.

SQL injection in PostgreSQL reindexdb allows an object creator to execute arbitrary SQL as the database user running reindexdb, via a crafted index name embedded in the parallel catalog query for --jobs with --index.  Within major versions 17-18, minor versions before PostgreSQL 18.7 and 17.12 are affected.  Versions before PostgreSQL 17 are unaffected.
