Prior to 2.20.0, pkg/scalers/postgresql_scaler.go constructs libpq-style connection strings from tenant-controlled host, port, userName, dbName, sslmode, and password values, while escapePostgreConnectionParameter() only quotes values containing a literal space. Tabs, newlines, carriage returns, form feeds, vertical tabs, quotes, and backslashes can therefore create additional key-value tokens when pgx parses the string. An attacker able to create or modify a TriggerAuthentication or ScaledObject can inject host or sslmode parameters, redirect the database connection to an attacker-controlled server, expose credentials, or disable intended TLS protection. This issue is fixed in version 2.20.0.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-21T21:16:59.957+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-12T16:10:00.22+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security-advisories@github.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","score":5.9,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/kedacore/keda/commit/703de9dec86cb25b6ecfa4948880a90487344d3f","https://github.com/kedacore/keda/issues/7784","https://github.com/kedacore/keda/pull/7787","https://github.com/kedacore/keda/releases/tag/v2.20.0","https://github.com/kedacore/keda/security/advisories/GHSA-6w3m-4hhp-775q"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53572","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Awaiting Analysis","weaknesses":["CWE-74","CWE-89"],"productCriteria":[],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-08-21T21:16:59.957","lastModified":"2026-10-12T16:10:00.220"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
