Alpine: multiple phpmyadmin packages: security update to 4.8.2-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 406395

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in js/designer/move.js in phpMyAdmin before 4.8.2. A Cross-Site Scripting
 vulnerability has been found where an attacker can use a crafted database name to trigger an XSS attack
 when that database is referenced from the Designer feature. (CVE-2018-12581)

 - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 4.8.x before 4.8.2, in which an attacker can include (view and
 potentially execute) files on the server. The vulnerability comes from a portion of code where pages are
 redirected and loaded within phpMyAdmin, and an improper test for whitelisted pages. An attacker must be
 authenticated, except in the "$cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] = true" case (where an attacker can specify any
 host he/she is already in control of, and execute arbitrary code on phpMyAdmin) and the
 "$cfg['ServerDefault'] = 0" case (which bypasses the login requirement and runs the vulnerable code
 without any authentication). (CVE-2018-12613)
