CVE-2026-116489 PUBLISHED

Timescale pgvectorscale before 0.9.1 Type Confusion via Unqualified DiskANN Operator Classes

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 26.10.2026 Published: 26.10.2026 Updated: 26.10.2026

Timescale pgvectorscale before 0.9.1 contains a type confusion vulnerability that allows low-privileged database users to corrupt memory by shadowing pgvector's vector type or operators. Attackers with CREATE privilege on the vectorscale schema can pre-create shadow objects, then build and query DiskANN indexes over crafted values to cause out-of-bounds reads and writes, disclosing memory, crashing the server, or escalating privileges.
