Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for phppgadmin.

CVE-2023-40619[0]:
| 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.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
