Synopsis

phpMyAdmin 4.x < 4.8.5 Arbitary File Read

Description

The version of phpMyAdmin installed on the remote host does not correctly block access to LOAD DATA INFILE function leading to an attacker being able to read any file on the filesystem accessible with the web server permissions. 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 4.8.5 or later.
