Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

pgAdmin 4 versions before 9.15 are vulnerable to symbolic-link path traversal in the File Manager. An authenticated user can create a symbolic link inside their own storage directory that points outside it, causing pgAdmin to write files to any path the pgAdmin process can reach. Upgrade pgAdmin 4 to version 9.15 or later.
