Description:
Aung Khant has reported two vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious local users to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, and by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.
1) Many scripts except for index.php do not check if they are linked into another site's frames. This can potentially be used for spoofing and phishing attacks.
2) Input from the config/config.inc.php configuration file to scripts/setup.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.
The vulnerabilities are reported in all 2.x versions before 2.11.8. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 2.11.8 or later.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Aung Khant, YGN Ethical Hacker Group
