This can allow the login of users who have no password set even if the administrator has set $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] to false (which is also the default). This behavior depends on the PHP version used (it seems PHP 5 is affected, while PHP 7.0 is not). Severity We consider this vulnerability to be of moderate severity. Mitigation factor Set a password for all users. Affected Versions Version 4.0 prior to 4.0.10.20 Version 4.4 (no longer supported) Version 4.6 (no longer supported) Version 4.7.0-beta1 and 4.7.0-rc1 Solution Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.20, 4.7.0, or newer or apply patch listed below.
