The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2008-1924 Attackers with CREATE table permissions were allowed to read arbitrary files readable by the webserver via a crafted HTTP POST request. CVE-2008-1567 The PHP session data file stored the username and password of a logged in user, which in some setups can be read by a local user. CVE-2008-1149 Cross site scripting and SQL injection were possible by attackers that had permission to create cookies in the same cookie domain as phpMyAdmin runs in.
