Description

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

Input passed in the URL to server_status.php 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 target user has valid user credentials.

NOTE: Some other potential cross-site scripting problems have also been fixed by the vendor.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.11.1.1. Prior versions may also be affected.


Solution
Update to version 2.11.1.2.
