CVE-2026-125321Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

NVDCVSS scored by security-advisories@github.com

Vulnerability Summary

pgEdge Postgres MCP Server enables SQL queries against PostgreSQL databases through Model Context Protocol compatible clients. Prior to 1.1.0, deployments exposing the nondefault HTTP transport with authentication enabled used the leftmost caller-supplied X-Forwarded-For value as the client address for login rate limiting. ExtractIPAddress in internal/auth/middleware.go supplied that value to IsAllowed and RecordFailedAttempt in internal/auth/rate_limiter.go, allowing an unauthenticated caller to rotate addresses to evade throttling or assert another user's address to consume that user's limiter bucket. The published nginx configuration appended rather than replaced X-Forwarded-For, making the issue reachable without an operator misconfiguration. Username-keyed account lockout did not use the client address, but shipped defaults disabled that separate control through MaxFailedAttemptsBeforeLockout: 0. This issue is fixed in version 1.1.0.
