The version of phpMyAdmin installed on the remote web server is 4.9.x prior to 4.9.6 or 5.0.x prior to 5.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
 - It may permit an attacker to craft a malicious link leading to a Cross-Site Scripting attack (XSS) vulnerability if a user clicks on it.
 - It may permit an attacker to craft a malicious search request, leading to a SQL injection vulnerability in the SearchController component Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.9.x prior to 4.9.6 or 5.0.x prior to 5.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - phpMyAdmin before 4.9.6 and 5.x before 5.0.3 allows XSS through the transformation feature via a crafted     link. (CVE-2020-26934)

  - An issue was discovered in SearchController in phpMyAdmin before 4.9.6 and 5.x before 5.0.3. A SQL     injection vulnerability was discovered in how phpMyAdmin processes SQL statements in the search feature.
    An attacker could use this flaw to inject malicious SQL in to a query. (CVE-2020-26935)

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