An attacker with access to the pgAdmin web interface can observe an active restore operation, extract the `\restrict` key in real time, and race the restore process by overwriting the restore script with a payload that re-enables meta-commands using `\unrestrict `. This results in reliable command execution on the pgAdmin host during the restore operation. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Windows apps | pgAdmin 4 | 9.12 | [pgAdmin 4 9.12](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/windows-app/postgresql.pgadmin-9.12.md) | Dec 19, 2025 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T06:59:42Z UTC.
