Researchers have discovered a Code Injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-13780) in the PostgreSQL graphical management tool pgAdmin. When the system is operating in Server Mode, a remote attacker with general privileges can upload a specially crafted malicious backup file. Subsequently, when the PLAIN format backup restore function is triggered, the system parses the crafted backup file, thereby executing arbitrary code on the pgAdmin host. Please promptly verify and apply the necessary fixes.
