Synopsis

phpMyAdmin 4.9.x < 4.9.6 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

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.

Solution

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin version 4.9.6 or later.
