According to its self-reported version, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.0.x prior to 4.0.10.17, 4.4.x prior to 4.4.15.8, or 4.6.x prior to 4.6.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - An issue was discovered in cookie encryption in phpMyAdmin. The decryption of the username/password is     vulnerable to a padding oracle attack. This can allow an attacker who has access to a user's browser     cookie file to decrypt the username and password. Furthermore, the same initialization vector (IV) is used     to hash the username and password stored in the phpMyAdmin cookie. If a user has the same password as     their username, an attacker who examines the browser cookie can see that they are the same - but the     attacker can not directly decode these values from the cookie as it is still hashed. All 4.6.x versions     (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are     affected. (CVE-2016-6606)

  - XSS issues were discovered in phpMyAdmin. This affects Zoom search (specially crafted column content can     be used to trigger an XSS attack); GIS editor (certain fields in the graphical GIS editor are not properly     escaped and can be used to trigger an XSS attack); Relation view; the following Transformations:
    Formatted, Imagelink, JPEG: Upload, RegexValidation, JPEG inline, PNG inline, and transformation wrapper;
    XML export; MediaWiki export; Designer; When the MySQL server is running with a specially-crafted log_bin     directive; Database tab; Replication feature; and Database search. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4),     4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected. (CVE-2016-6607)

  - XSS issues were discovered in phpMyAdmin. This affects the database privilege check and the Remove     partitioning functionality. Specially crafted database names can trigger the XSS attack. All 4.6.x     versions (prior to 4.6.4) are affected. (CVE-2016-6608)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A specially crafted database name could be used to run arbitrary     PHP commands through the array export feature.

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A user can exploit the LOAD LOCAL INFILE functionality to expose     files on the server to the database system. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to     4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected. (CVE-2016-6612)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A user can specially craft a symlink on disk, to a file which     phpMyAdmin is permitted to read but the user is not, which phpMyAdmin will then expose to the user.
