phpMyAdmin < 3.3.10.1 / 3.4.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (PMASA-2011-03 - PMASA-2011-04

medium Nessus Plugin ID 55023

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host contains a version of phpMyAdmin - 3.3.x less than 3.3.10.1 or 3.4.x less than 3.4.1 - that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- The scripts 'tbl_links.php' and 'tbl-tracking' fail to filter input to the 'table' and 'db' parameters. An attacker may be able to exploit this issue to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser, to be executed within the security context of the affected application, resulting in the theft of session cookies and a compromise of a user's account.
(Issue #2011-03)

- For versions 3.4.x < 3.4.1, the script 'url.php' fails to validate input to the 'url' parameter before redirecting to a specified location. (Issue #2011-04)

Solution

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin version 3.3.10.1 / 3.4.1 or later.
