CVE-2023-40619 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 1.10% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
