FreeBSD : phpMyAdmin -- Multiple vulnerabilities, no fix available (e6b90d23-d49d-11f1-bae2-3497f65b111b)

high Nessus Plugin ID 374535

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the e6b90d23-d49d-11f1-bae2-3497f65b111b advisory.

VulnCheck reports:
Seven vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin up to and including 5.2.3 were published on 2026-10-30. The most severe of them, an authentication bypass, is in the WebAuthn second factor:
assertion signatures are never verified against the stored public keys, so an attacker who already has the MySQL credentials of a victim can skip the second factor.
The others are a server-side request forgery in setup/validate.php, which needs no authentication at all and can be used to probe internal hosts and ports; the removal of two- factor authentication without re-authentication; SQL injection in Central Columns and in the Designer, both running with controluser privileges; stored cross-site scripting in the Designer history; and a missing cross-site request forgery token.
There is no fixed release. The phpMyAdmin project has published neither a security announcement nor a new version, and only the request forgery has a fix in the development branch so far.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
