Summary
PostgreSQL Anonymizer from DALIBO, from version 1 before 3.3.0, does not mask data returned by a sub-query inside a masking rule. A low-privileged masked role can read the authentic data of masked tables, which breaks the confidentiality of the protected data. The weakness is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization).
