Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.Description
The remote host contains a version of phpMyAdmin - 3.3.x less than 3.3.10.4 or 3.4.x less than 3.4.4 - that is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.The data in the 'table', 'column', and 'index' variables of the script 'tbl_tracking.php' are not properly sanitized before being sent to the browser.
These errors can allow an unauthenticated user to trick an authenticated user into requesting a URL thereby injecting arbitrary HTML or script code into the authenticated user's browser.
These errors can also allow an attacker who has access to the database to create persistent strings of cross-site scripting code that will inject arbitrary HTML or script code into an authenticated user's browser at a later time.
Solution
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin version 3.3.10.4 / 3.4.4 or later.See Also
