Description:
Omer Singer has reported a vulnerability in phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the URL is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is running a browser that has not URL-encoded the request (e.g. Internet Explorer 6).

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.11.1. Prior versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to version 2.11.1.1.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Omer Singer, DigiTrust Group
