Highlights common security blind spots like overprivileged superuser roles, default public schema access, and missing query auditing. Also covers a 2025 CVE caused by overreliance on escaping APIs instead of prepared statements, and new security enhancements in PostgreSQL 17 (pg_maintain role, safer search_path, incremental backups) and PostgreSQL 18 (OAuth support for external IdP integration). ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
