    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpMyAdmin. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A authenticated remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to       execute arbitrary PHP Code, inject SQL code, or to conduct Cross-Site       Scripting attacks.
    In certain configurations, an unauthenticated remote attacker could       cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to its self-reported version, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.0.x prior to 4.0.10.18, 4.4.x prior to 4.4.15.9, or 4.6.x prior to 4.6.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. When the user does not specify a blowfish_secret key for encrypting     cookies, phpMyAdmin generates one at runtime. A vulnerability was reported where the way this value is     created uses a weak algorithm. This could allow an attacker to determine the user's blowfish_secret and     potentially decrypt their cookies. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), 4.4.x versions (prior to     4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.18) are affected. (CVE-2016-9847)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. phpinfo (phpinfo.php) shows PHP information including values of     HttpOnly cookies. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x     versions (prior to 4.0.10.18) are affected. (CVE-2016-9848)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. It is possible to bypass AllowRoot restriction     ($cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot']) and deny rules for username by using Null Byte in the username. All     4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x versions (prior to     4.0.10.18) are affected. (CVE-2016-9849)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. Username matching for the allow/deny rules may result in wrong     matches and detection of the username in the rule due to non-constant execution time. All 4.6.x versions     (prior to 4.6.5), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.18) are     affected. (CVE-2016-9850)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. With a crafted request parameter value it is possible to bypass the     logout timeout. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), and 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9) are affected.
    (CVE-2016-9851)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. By calling some scripts that are part of phpMyAdmin in an     unexpected way, it is possible to trigger phpMyAdmin to display a PHP error message which contains the     full path of the directory where phpMyAdmin is installed. During an execution timeout in the export     functionality, the errors containing the full path of the directory of phpMyAdmin are written to the     export file. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), and 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9) are affected.
    This CVE is for the curl wrapper issue. (CVE-2016-9852)

All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), and 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9) are affected.
    This CVE is for the fopen wrapper issue. (CVE-2016-9853)

  - An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin.

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

Versions of phpMyAdmin 4.4.15.x prior to 4.4.15.9, and 4.6.x prior to 4.6.5 are unpatched, and therefore affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in 'libraries/VersionInformation.php' related to false values being passed to the 'json_decode()' method.  This may allow an authenticated, remote attacker to disclose the software's installation path.  While such information is relatively low risk, it is often useful in carrying out additional, more focused attacks.
 - A flaw exists related to export timeouts in the 'PMA_shutdownDuringExport()' function in 'libraries/export.lib.php'.  This may allow an authenticated, remote attacker to disclose the software's installation path.  While such information is relatively low risk, it is often useful in carrying out additional, more focused attacks.
