Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application obtaining parameters via the "$_REQUEST" variable, and using them without proper sanitation in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code via a malicious cookie.

Successful exploitation requires that a phpMyAdmin user is tricked into visiting a malicious website.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.11.5.
