CVE-2023-40619 (GCVE-0-2023-40619)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-09-20 00:00 – Updated: 2024-09-25 14:18
VLAI
Summary
phpPgAdmin 7.14.4 and earlier is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data which may lead to remote code execution because user-controlled data is directly passed to the PHP 'unserialize()' function in multiple places. An example is the functionality to manage tables in 'tables.php' where the 'ma[]' POST parameter is deserialized.
Severity
