An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 5.1 before 5.1.2. An attacker can inject malicious code into aspects of the setup script, which can allow XSS or HTML injection.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202311-17 (phpMyAdmin: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - PhpMyAdmin 5.1.1 and before allows an attacker to retrieve potentially sensitive information by creating     invalid requests. This affects the lang parameter, the pma_parameter, and the cookie section.
    (CVE-2022-0813)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 4.9 before 4.9.8 and 5.1 before 5.1.2. A valid user who is already     authenticated to phpMyAdmin can manipulate their account to bypass two-factor authentication for future     login instances. (CVE-2022-23807)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 5.1 before 5.1.2. An attacker can inject malicious code into aspects     of the setup script, which can allow XSS or HTML injection. (CVE-2022-23808)

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

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2023:0047-1 advisory.

  - In phpMyAdmin before 4.9.11 and 5.x before 5.2.1, an authenticated user can trigger XSS by uploading a     crafted .sql file through the drag-and-drop interface. (CVE-2023-25727)

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

The version of phpMyAdmin installed on the remote host has a series of weaknesses in the setup script, which can be abused to perform injection of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or HTML injection vulnerabilities. Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
