CVE-2026-14663 is a cleartext-storage vulnerability in PostgreSQL's pgcrypto PGP encryption and decryption functions when an application selects a cipher disabled by the installed OpenSSL version or its local cryptographic policy. Instead of reporting an error, affected pgcrypto code can silently encrypt plaintext as cleartext and decrypt that cleartext successfully. Affected functions include the text and bytea variants of pgp_sym_encrypt, pgp_sym_decrypt, pgp_pub_encrypt, and pgp_pub_decrypt. PostgreSQL versions before 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected.
