Answer in brief
CVE-2026-76904 records a Critical severity (CVSS 9.8) vulnerability in GeoTools has unauthenticated SQL injection in the jsonArrayContains filter function against PostGIS layers. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps geotools/geotools (generic), org.geotools.jdbc:gt-jdbc-postgis (maven), org.geotools.jdbc:gt-jdbc-postgis (maven), org.geotools.jdbc:gt-jdbc-postgis (maven) and additional mapped packages. Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 9.8. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

GeoTools is an open source Java library that provides tools for geospatial data. Starting in version 30.5 and prior to versions 33.6, 34.5, and 33.6, an SQL Injection Vulnerability is present when executing OGC Filters with PostGIS DataStore implementation: `jsonArrayContains` function; Requires PostGIS 12 or greater with a String or JSON field. For PostGIS 12 and greater `jsonArrayContains(<column>, <pointer>, <value>)` function writes `<value>` into generated SQL without escaping. Patches are available in versions 33.6, 34.5, and 33.6. No known workaround is available. To limit scope of SQL Injection the PostGIS connection pool should be configured with limited rights.
