Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere when restoring from a plain-text dump file. An attacker can embed malicious psql meta-commands into dump files generated by pg_dump --format=plain, pg_dumpall, or pg_restore --file. Once the dump is restored using psql, these commands will execute, allowing arbitrary code to run on the system performing the restore.
