phpMyAdmin 4.0.x < 4.0.10.5 / 4.1.x < 4.1.14.6 / 4.2.x < 4.2.10.1 Multiple XSS (PMASA-2014-12)

low Nessus Plugin ID 78738

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 4.0.10.5, 4.1.x prior to 4.1.14.6, or 4.2.x prior to 4.2.10.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following cross-site scripting vulnerabilities :

- The 'libraries/DatabaseInterface.class.php' script does not validate input to database and table names in SQL debug output before returning it to users.

- The 'js/server_status_monitor.js' script does not validate input to executed queries before they are viewed or analyzed.

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

Solution

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.5 / 4.1.14.6 / 4.2.10.1 or later, or apply the patches from the referenced links.
