Synopsis

phpMyAdmin 4.x < 4.8.4 Local File Inclusion

Description

The version of phpMyAdmin installed on the remote host has a flaw in the transformation feature which may permit an authenticated attacker to leak contents of local files. Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin version 4.8.4 or later.
