The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202311-17 (phpMyAdmin: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - PhpMyAdmin 5.1.1 and before allows an attacker to retrieve potentially sensitive information by creating     invalid requests. This affects the lang parameter, the pma_parameter, and the cookie section.
    (CVE-2022-0813)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 4.9 before 4.9.8 and 5.1 before 5.1.2. A valid user who is already     authenticated to phpMyAdmin can manipulate their account to bypass two-factor authentication for future     login instances. (CVE-2022-23807)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 5.1 before 5.1.2. An attacker can inject malicious code into aspects     of the setup script, which can allow XSS or HTML injection. (CVE-2022-23808)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 4.9 before 4.9.8 and 5.1 before 5.1.2. A valid user who is already

    login instances. (CVE-2022-23807)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 5.1 before 5.1.2. An attacker can inject malicious code into aspects
    of the setup script, which can allow XSS or HTML injection. (CVE-2022-23808)

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2023:0047-1 advisory.

  - PhpMyAdmin 5.1.1 and before allows an attacker to retrieve potentially sensitive information by creating     invalid requests. This affects the lang parameter, the pma_parameter, and the cookie section.
    (CVE-2022-0813)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 4.9 before 4.9.8 and 5.1 before 5.1.2. A valid user who is already     authenticated to phpMyAdmin can manipulate their account to bypass two-factor authentication for future     login instances. (CVE-2022-23807)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 5.1 before 5.1.2. An attacker can inject malicious code into aspects     of the setup script, which can allow XSS or HTML injection. (CVE-2022-23808)

  - In phpMyAdmin before 4.9.11 and 5.x before 5.2.1, an authenticated user can trigger XSS by uploading a     crafted .sql file through the drag-and-drop interface. (CVE-2023-25727)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of phpMyAdmin installed on the remote host has a series of weaknesses in the setup script, which can be abused to perform injection of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or HTML injection vulnerabilities.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
