Synopsis

phpMyAdmin 4.9.x < 4.9.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

The version of phpMyAdmin installed on the remote web server is 4.9.x prior to 4.9.5 or 5.0.x prior to 5.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
 - A malicious user may be able to create a specially crafted username leading to a SQL injection.
 - A malicious user may be able to create a specially crafted database or table name leading to a SQL injection if a user then performs certain search operations on the table created.
 - An attacker may be able to insert crafted data in certain database tables, which when retrieved trigger a XSS attack. 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 4.9.5 or later.
