Privilege Escalation in AWS Advanced Go Wrapper GlobalDatabasePlugin
CVE-2026-11401 is an untrusted search path vulnerability in the GlobalDatabasePlugin component of the AWS Advanced Go Wrapper for Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL. According to the provided content, a remote authenticated low-privilege attacker can create a crafted function that is later executed when another Amazon RDS user connects to the cluster through the affected wrapper. Because the plugin resolves or invokes functionality through an untrusted search path, the attacker-controlled function can be executed in the context of the connecting user, enabling privilege escalation to that user's database privileges, including rds_superuser.
