What is CVE-2023-40619?

phpPgAdmin versions up to 7.14.4 are vulnerable to a deserialization issue where untrusted user data can lead to remote code execution. This occurs when the application directly passes controlled data to the PHP 'unserialize()' function without proper validation. The flaw is particularly evident in the table management module within 'tables.php', specifically concerning the processing of the 'ma[]' POST parameter. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, potentially compromising the integrity and security of the server.
