## PostgreSQL 语言

您访问的 PostgreSQL 数据库可能安装了不同的**脚本语言**，您可以滥用这些语言来**执行任意代码**。

您可以**使它们运行**：

```sql
\dL *

SELECT lanname,lanpltrusted,lanacl FROM pg_language;
```

大多数您可以在PostgreSQL中安装的脚本语言都有**2种类型**：**受信任**和**不受信任**。**不受信任**的语言名称**以"u"结尾**，这些版本允许您**执行代码**并使用其他有趣的功能。以下是一些安装后会很有趣的语言：

* **plpythonu**
* **plpython3u**
* **plperlu**
* **pljavaU**
* **plrubyu**
* ...（任何其他使用不安全版本的编程语言）

{% hint style="warning" %}
如果您发现一个有趣的语言已经被PostgreSQL **安装**但被标记为**不受信任**（**`lanpltrusted`为`false`**），您可以尝试使用以下命令**信任**它，这样PostgreSQL就不会施加任何限制：

```sql
UPDATE pg_language SET lanpltrusted=true WHERE lanname='plpythonu';
# To check your permissions over the table pg_language
SELECT * FROM information_schema.table_privileges WHERE table_name = 'pg_language';
```

{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
如果您找不到一种语言，您可以尝试使用以下方式加载它（**您需要是超级管理员**）：

```
CREATE EXTENSION plpythonu;
CREATE EXTENSION plpython3u;
CREATE EXTENSION plperlu;
CREATE EXTENSION pljavaU;
CREATE EXTENSION plrubyu;
```

{% endhint %}

请注意，将安全版本编译为“不安全”是可能的。例如，可以查看[此链接](https://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2005/08/22/installing-untrusted-pl-ruby-for-postgresql.html)。因此，即使只发现安装了**受信任**的版本，尝试执行代码也是值得的。
