It was permitted to display phpMyAdmin's frames inside another page, opening phishing or fooling possibilities; now, a parameter AllowThirdPartyFraming must be set to true in config.inc.php to allow this behavior. Also, XSS was possible for someone who could overwrite config/config.inc.php during the time this file is present in this directory. Severity: We consider these vulnerabilities to be serious. See YGN's advisories for some mitigation factors. Affected versions: Versions before 2.11.8. Solution: Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 2.11.8 or newer. References: These advisories are available from the reporter: http://yehg.net/lab/pr0js/advisories/Cross-Site_Framing_inphpMyAdmin2.11.7.pdf http://yehg.net/lab/pr0js/advisories/XSS_inPhpMyAdmin2.11.7.pdf In case of questions, please contact the phpMyAdmin team.
