high Nessus Plugin ID 134771

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The following packages CVE(s) were reported against phpmyadmin.

CVE-2020-10802

In phpMyAdmin 4.x before 4.9.5, a SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered where certain parameters are not properly escaped when generating certain queries for search actions in libraries/classes/Controllers/Table/TableSearchController.php. An attacker can generate a crafted database or table name. The attack can be performed if a user attempts certain search operations on the malicious database or table.

CVE-2020-10803

In phpMyAdmin 4.x before 4.9.5, a SQL injection vulnerability was discovered where malicious code could be used to trigger an XSS attack through retrieving and displaying results (in tbl_get_field.php and libraries/classes/Display/Results.php). The attacker must be able to insert crafted data into certain database tables, which when retrieved (for instance, through the Browse tab) can trigger the XSS attack.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4:4.2.12-2+deb8u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpmyadmin packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected phpmyadmin package.
