executing Linux commands from the PostgreSQL server

Hello,

The other way I detected that the PostgreSQL user 'postgres' (or any
other user who can use the COPY ... FROM PROGRAM command) can do with SQL

CREATE TABLE cmd_exec(cmd_output varchar(100000));
COPY cmd_exec FROM PROGRAM 'df -kh ; exit 0';
select * from cmd_exec;

Is there a way to avoid this?

I, Matthias, I am not at war with Russia.
Я не воюю с Россией.
Ich bin nicht im Krieg mit Russland.
