AWS Advanced Go Wrapper Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

AWS Advanced Go Wrapper versions 2026-04-06 through 2026-07-29 have a nasty privilege escalation bug in Aurora PostgreSQL dialect detection. A remote authenticated user could exploit a crafted function to escalate to superuser privileges—yeah, that's as bad as it sounds. Update to version 2026-07-29 or later immediately if you're using affected versions.
