So many "Security Researchers" are just throwing ZAP at websites and dumping the result into the security@ mail, because there might be minor security improvements by setting yet another obscure browser security header for cases that might not even be applicable.
Or there is no real consideration if that's actually an escalation of context. Like, "Oh if I can change these postgres configuration parameters, I can cause a problem", or "Oh if I can change values in this file I can cause huge trouble". Except, modifying that file or that config parameter requires root/supervisor access, so there is no escalation because you have full access already anyhow?
I probably wouldn't have to look at documentation too much to get postgres to load arbitrary code from disk if I have supervisor access to the postgres already. Some COPY into some preload plugin, some COPY / ALTER SYSTEM, some query to crash the node, and off we probably go.
But yeah, I'm frustrated that we were forced to route our security@ domain to support to filter out this nonsense. I wouldn't be surprised if we miss some actually important issue unless demonstrated like this, but it costs too much time otherwise.
