PostgreSQL CVEs published and patched, by year
16 published in the last 12 months · data refreshed 2026-08-09
At the last-12-month rate of 16 PostgreSQL CVEs, running 14 for a year past 12 Nov 2026 means roughly that many vulnerabilities fixed upstream but never backported to your branch. Past branches bear this out: PostgreSQL 13 has missed 16 since it went end of life.
