phpMyAdmin security announcement PMASA-2008-4
Announcement-ID: PMASA-2008-4
Date: 2008-06-23
Summary:
XSS on plausible insecure PHP installation
Description:
We received an advisory from Tim Starling (Wikimedia), and we wish to
thank him for his work. Some scripts in the /libraries directory were
vulnerable to XSS.
Severity:
We consider this vulnerability to be serious.
Mitigation factor:
We were able to reproduce this only on systems where both of these
conditions are true: the PHP register_globals setting is "on" and the
web server does not apply the settings contained in the .htaccess file
that we placed in /libraries.
Affected versions:
Versions before 2.11.7.
Solution:
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 2.11.7 or newer.
References:
Revision 11326
