SCA: security update for phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin (GHSA-5868-g58j-vrj5)
critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 432355
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- An issue was discovered in libraries/common.inc.php in phpMyAdmin 4.0 before 4.0.10.20, 4.4.x, 4.6.x, and
4.7.0 prereleases. The restrictions caused by $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false are bypassed
under certain PHP versions (e.g., version 5). This can allow the login of users who have no password set
even if the administrator has set $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] to false (which is also the
default). This occurs because some implementations of the PHP substr function return false when given ''
as the first argument. (CVE-2017-18264)
