CVE-2026-78155 is a critical privilege-escalation vulnerability in the StackGres operator. The flaw is described as an untrusted search path issue in which a low-privilege tenant who owns a database can leverage the operator’s handling of executable or resource lookup to escalate privileges and obtain administrator-level access. Available information does not identify the specific vulnerable function or code path, but the weakness is characterized as remotely exploitable and results in a tenant-to-administrator privilege boundary bypass within the StackGres environment.
