Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is prone to several flaws.Description
The version of phpMyAdmin installed on the remote host is affected by a local file inclusion vulnerability that can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files, and possibly even to execute arbitrary PHP code on the affected host subject to the permissions of the web server user id.In addition, the application fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'hash' parameter in the 'left.php' and 'queryframe.php' scripts as well as the 'sort_order' and 'sort_by' parameters in the 'server_databases.php' script before using it to generate dynamic HTML, which can lead to cross-site scripting attacks against the affected application.
Solution
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl3 or later.See Also
