Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in phpMyAdmin, the web-based MySQL administration interface.

  - CVE-2016-1927     The suggestPassword function relied on a non-secure     random number generator which makes it easier for remote     attackers to guess generated passwords via a brute-force     approach.

  - CVE-2016-2039     CSRF token values were generated by a non-secure random     number generator, which allows remote attackers to     bypass intended access restrictions by predicting a     value.

  - CVE-2016-2040     Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities     allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web     script or HTML.

  - CVE-2016-2041     phpMyAdmin does not use a constant-time algorithm for     comparing CSRF tokens, which makes it easier for remote     attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by     measuring time differences.

  - CVE-2016-2560     Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities     allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or     HTML.

  - CVE-2016-2561     Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities     allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or     HTML.

  - CVE-2016-5099     Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities     allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or     HTML.

  - CVE-2016-5701     For installations running on plain HTTP, phpMyAdmin     allows remote attackers to conduct BBCode injection     attacks against HTTP sessions via a crafted URI.

  - CVE-2016-5705     Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities     allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or     HTML.

  - CVE-2016-5706     phpMyAdmin allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (resource consumption) via a large array in the     scripts parameter.

  - CVE-2016-5731     A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows remote     attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

  - CVE-2016-5733     Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities     allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or     HTML.

  - CVE-2016-5739     A specially crafted Transformation could leak     information which a remote attacker could use to perform     cross site request forgeries.

Please reference CVE/URL list for details

According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.0.x prior to 4.0.10.16. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the setup/frames/index.inc.php script     that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access     the program on a non-HTTPS connection and thereby inject     arbitrary BBCode against HTTP sessions. (CVE-2016-5701)

  - A flaw exists in the js/get_scripts.js.php script when     handling a large array in the 'scripts' parameter during     the loading of a crafted JavaScript file. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5706)

  - A information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     Example OpenID Authentication and Setup scripts that     allows an remote attacker, via multiple vectors, to     disclose the application's installation path in an     error message. (CVE-2016-5730)

  - A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability     exists in the examples/openid.php script when handling     OpenID error messages due to improper validation of     input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a     user's browser session. (CVE-2016-5731)

  - Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities     exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input     before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit these, via specially crafted     requests, to execute arbitrary script code or HTML in a     user's browser session. (CVE-2016-5733)

  - A flaw exists in the table search and replace feature     due to improper sanitization of parameters before     passing them to the preg_replace() function. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via     a specially crafted string, to execute arbitrary PHP     code. (CVE-2016-5734)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     libraries/Header.class.php script when handling     transformations due to a failure to use the 'no-referer'     Content Security Policy (CSP) protection mechanism. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted Transformation, to disclose sensitive     authentication token information, which then can be     potentially used to facilitate cross-site request     forgery (XSRF) attacks. (CVE-2016-5739)

This non-security issues was fixed :

  - Fix issue Setup script doesn't use input type 'password'     in all relevant locations

Versions of phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.x prior to 4.0.10.16, 4.4.15.x prior to 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x prior to 4.6.3 are unpatched, and therefore affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in the 'libraries/Header.class.php' script that is triggered during the handling of transformations.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to gain access to authentication token information, which can facilitate CSRF attacks.
 - A flaw within the table search and replace feature is triggered by the unsafe passing of parameters to the 'preg_replace()' function.  This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - A flaw exists that allows a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.  This flaw exists because the 'examples/openid.php' script does not validate input when handling error messages before returning it to users.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw in Example OpenID Authentication and Setup scripts may allow a 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 in the 'js/get_scripts.js.php' script is triggered during the handling of the 'scripts' parameter when loading a crafted JavaScript file.  This may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
 - A flaw within the 'setup/frames/index.inc.php' script may allow an authenticated remote attacker to access the program on a non-HTTPS connection and inject arbitrary 'BBCode'.
 - A flaw exists that allows a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.  This flaw exists because the 'libraries/build_html_for_db.lib.php' script does not validate input to translated strings before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack.  This flaw exists because the program does not validate input to binary log names before returning it to users.  This may allow an authenticated remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack.  This flaw exists because multiple transformation plugins do not validate input before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that allows a reflected XSS attack.  This flaw exists because the 'js/ajax.js' script does not validate input when rendering AJAX errors before returning it to users.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack.  This flaw exists because the 'js/get_image.js.php' script does not validate input to image display attributes before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack.  This flaw exists because the 'TextLinkTransformationsPlugin.class.php' script improperly allows JavaScript links that are not sanitized before being returned to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists 
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack.  This flaw exists because the 'js/tbl_chart.js' script does not validate input to chart columns before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that allows an XSS attack.  This flaw exists because the 'libraries/TableSearch.class.php' script does not validate input to the 'criteriaColumnTypes' POST parameter before returning it to users.  This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.  Note that in the 4.6.x branch, the vulnerable script name is templates/table/search/rows_zoom.phtml.
