Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The version of phpMyAdmin hosted on the remote server is 3.4.x prior to 3.4.6 and is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.  The 'Servers-0-verbose' parameter is not properly sanitized by methods in 'libraries/config/ConfigFile.class.php' as called by the script 'setup/index.php'.  Persistent cross-site scripting is possible if improper filesystem permissions are in place.
