Synopsis

phpMyAdmin 4.7.x < 4.7.8 Cross-Site Scripting

Description

The version of phpMyAdmin installed on the remote host does not sanitize user input used for the db_central_columns parameter leading to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin version 4.7.8 or later.
