Walkthrough

The change adds the experimental pgr_maxWeightedMatch function for undirected graphs, including its graph and matching implementation, SQL integration, tests, examples, and documentation. It also updates maximum-cardinality matching integration and adds planar-family documentation index entries.

Query examples and automated tests docqueries/max_flow/*, pgtap/max_flow/maxWeightedMatching/*	Adds two SQL examples and recorded results. Adds tests for function types, query behavior, empty inputs, and matching edge cases.
Function documentation and release records doc/max_flow/*, doc/_static/page_history.js, doc/src/*, NEWS.md, locale/*	Adds the experimental function documentation and image handling. Updates release indexes, issue references, translation catalogs, and contributor records. The maximum-cardinality result table is wrapped in only_edge directives.

Planar Family Documentation Index

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Experimental family index doc/src/experimental.rst, locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/pgrouting_doc_strings.po, locale/pot/pgrouting_doc_strings.pot	Adds the planar family and its function links to experimental documentation and localized catalog indexes.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to adfa3

Calling the deprecated maximum-cardinality matching function now writes past a memory buffer inside the database server. This can crash the backend or corrupt its memory.

The new pgr_maxWeightedMatch can also hit undefined behavior when every supplied edge has negative costs.

Both are small fixes, but they should be made before merging. The documentation duplicates and the typo are minor cleanups.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to adfa3

The new matching function may expose database sessions to avoidable failures or prolonged work on certain inputs. A separate memory-safety regression affects a deprecated entrypoint, although its availability to callers in current installations is uncertain.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: If fetched edges are all discarded because both costs are negative, the new matching path can reach an empty graph and take the address of element zero of an empty mate vector. That is undefined behavior in a database backend; whether the edge getter retains such rows and what failure occurs at runtime remain unverified.
• Medium · security · inferred: Caller-controlled graph size reaches the weighted-matching call, but the new function checks PostgreSQL interruption only before that call. A long-running invocation may therefore delay cancellation and tie up its database backend; the duration and runtime effect have not been measured.
• Medium · security · observed: The changed deprecated native cardinality entrypoint allocates two Datum and null slots yet writes four Datum values. The prior version allocated four. This is an out-of-bounds write when that entrypoint returns a row, but the current SQL declarations do not establish that a fresh 4.1 installation exposes it; older signatures identify a possible legacy exposure.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The newly reachable work and possible failures occur in the PostgreSQL backend executing a caller's edge query. The evidence does not establish privilege escalation, cross-tenant data access, or the number of callers able to execute the installed functions.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — An eligible SQL caller may supply edge rows that are fetched but all discarded by the weighted-graph filter, reaching the unguarded empty mate vector. Large supplied graphs may also keep a backend in the matching call without a further visible interruption check. Neither outcome was reproduced at runtime.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The statement helper performs prepared-statement lookup and text transformation, not a visible authorization check. The existing cardinality API uses the same public-wrapper-to-internal-function pattern, which limits evidence for a newly introduced privilege bypass.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The deprecated composite cardinality producer's allocation no longer matches its writes. The separate v4 scalar producer does not use those composite arrays, limiting the demonstrated regression to the deprecated path.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Guard the weighted algorithm after graph filtering, so an empty graph returns no results without forming a pointer into an empty vector; exercise the all-filtered input case separately from an empty edge query.
• proposed — Restore allocation consistent with the deprecated function's composite tuple descriptor, and establish whether upgrade installations retain its SQL binding before assigning it a production exposure level.
