PostgreSQL doesn't have any dependencies on node.js, let alone
JavaScript. This CVE doesn't apply to PostgreSQL.

If you are using a package to install PostgreSQL (as it sounds like you
are), you'll need to reach out to the package maintainers.

PLV8 and PLJS also have no dependencies from node.js, and do not have this dependency specifically, so are also not affected, even though they implement a Javascript runtime.
