Authentication bypass via second StartupMessage during SCRAM authentication in PgBouncer
CVE-2026-107350 is fixed in pgbouncer on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-107350 (version 1.26.1-1), released October 16, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
Improper authentication in PgBouncer 1.17.0 through 1.26.0 allows a remote attacker who knows the password of a user listed in auth_file to log in as any other user that authenticates using SCRAM, including PgBouncer admin users and backend superusers. A second StartupMessage sent during SCRAM authentication against a non-existent database is not rejected and switches the user being logged in as, while the SCRAM exchange is still verified against the keys of the first user.
