Crafted values entered in the setup interface can produce XSS;
also, if the config directory exists and is writeable, the XSS payload can be
saved to this directory.

writeable; also a warning appears on the home page. Also, this XSS would

Summary XSS in export.
Description
Using crafted url parameters, it was possible to produce XSS on
the export panels in the server, database and table sections.
Severity
We consider these vulnerabilities to be non critical.
Mitigation factor
These attacks are unlikely to succeed on a victim. Moreover, all these attacks
require that the user be already logged in and that a valid token be part of
the request.
Affected Versions
Versions 3.4.x are affected.
Solution
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 3.4.9 or newer or apply the related patches listed
below. References
