When PgBouncer is configured to use cert authentication, a man-in-the-middle attacker can inject arbitrary SQL queries when a connection is first established, despite the use of TLS certificate verification and encryption. This flaw affects PgBouncer versions prior to 1.16.1.

Weakness

The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.
