phpMyAdmin 4.0.x < 4.0.10.2 / 4.1.x < 4.1.14.3 / 4.2.x < 4.2.7.1 Multiple XSS Vulnerabilities (PMASA-2014-8 - PMASA-2014-9)

low Nessus Plugin ID 77305

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.0.x prior to 4.0.10.2, 4.1.x prior to 4.1.14.3, or 4.2.x prior to 4.2.7.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exist in the browser table, ENUM editor, monitor, query charts, and table relations pages. (CVE-2014-5273)

- A flaw exists in the view operation page that allows a cross-site scripting attack. Note that this does not affect the 4.0.x releases. (CVE-2014-5274)

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

Solution

Either upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.2 / 4.1.14.3 / 4.2.7.1 or later, or apply the patches from the referenced links.
