Description

The phpMyAdmin development team reports :

With a crafted table name it is possible to trigger an XSS attack in the database normalization page.

We consider this vulnerability to be non-critical.

This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who is logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required page.
