Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for PostgreSQL RDS for PostgreSQL 17.2+ for PostgreSQL now supports the latest minor versions 17.2, 16.6, 15.10, 14.15, 13.18, and 12.22. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest minor versions to fix known security vulnerabilities in prior versions of PostgreSQL, and to benefit from the bug fixes added by the PostgreSQL community.

You are able to leverage automatic minor version upgrades to automatically upgrade your databases to more recent minor versions during scheduled maintenance window. Learn more about upgrading your database instances in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
