phpMyAdmin 4.0.x < 4.0.10.4 / 4.1.x < 4.1.14.5 / 4.2.x < 4.2.9.1 'ENUM' Value XSS (PMASA-2014-11)

low Nessus Plugin ID 78233

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a PHP application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.0.x prior to 4.0.10.4, 4.1.x prior to 4.1.14.5, or 4.2.x prior to 4.2.9.1. It is, therefore, affected by an input validation error related to the 'ENUM' value and the files 'libraries/TableSearch.class.php' and 'libraries/Util.class.php'. This issue could allow cross-site scripting attacks.

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

Solution

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.4 / 4.1.14.5 / 4.2.9.1 or later, or apply the patches from the referenced links.
