Synopsis
The remote web server hosts a PHP application that is affected by cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities.Description
According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.0.x prior to 4.0.10.3, 4.1.x prior to 4.1.14.4, or 4.2.x prior to 4.2.8.1. It is, therefore, affected by an input-validation error related to the 'micro history' feature that could allow a DOM-based cross-site scripting attack that could further lead to cross-site request forgery attacks.Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.3 / 4.1.14.4 / 4.2.8.1 or later, or apply the patches from the referenced links.See Also
