The phpMyAdmin development team reports:
Summary
Local file inclusion through transformation feature
Description
A flaw has been found where an attacker can exploit
phpMyAdmin to leak the contents of a local file. The
attacker must have access to the phpMyAdmin Configuration
Storage tables, although these can easily be created in any
database to which the attacker has access. An attacker must
have valid credentials to log in to phpMyAdmin; this
vulnerability does not allow an attacker to circumvent the
login system.
Severity
We consider this vulnerability to be severe.
Summary
XSRF/CSRF vulnerability in phpMyAdmin
Description
By deceiving a user to click on a crafted URL, it is
possible to perform harmful SQL operations such as renaming
databases, creating new tables/routines, deleting designer
pages, adding/deleting users, updating user passwords,
killing SQL processes, etc.
Severity
We consider this vulnerability to be of moderate severity.
Summary
XSS vulnerability in navigation tree
Description
A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability was found in the
navigation tree, where an attacker can deliver a payload to
a user through a specially-crafted database/table name.
Severity
We consider this attack to be of moderate severity.
Mitigation factor
The stored XSS vulnerabilities can be triggered only by
someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token
protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the
required forms.
