Synopsis
The remote web server hosts a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its self-identified version number, the phpMyAdmin 3.5.x install hosted on the remote web server is earlier than 3.5.3 and is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- When creating or modifying a trigger, event, or procedure with a crafted name, it is possible for a user to trigger a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
- A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack is possible when fetching the version information from a non-SSL site.
To display information about the current phpMyAdmin version, a piece of JavaScript is fetched from the phpmyadmin.net website in non-SSL mode. A MITM attack could modify this script on the wire.
Solution
Either upgrade to phpMyAdmin 3.5.3 or later, or apply the patches from the referenced links.See Also
