This critical-severity CVE scores 9.8 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 6.3%, top 7% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

An issue was discovered in Appsmith before 1.52. An incorrectly configured PostgreSQL instance in the Appsmith image leads to remote command execution inside the Appsmith Docker container. The attacker must be able to access Appsmith, login to it, create a datasource, create a query against that datasource, and execute that query.
