An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin involving the %u username replacement functionality of the SaveDir and UploadDir features. When the username substitution is configured, a specially-crafted user name can be used to circumvent restrictions to traverse the file system. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected.

An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A user can specially craft a symlink on disk, to a file which phpMyAdmin is permitted to read but the user is not, which phpMyAdmin will then expose to the user. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected.

An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A user can exploit the LOAD LOCAL INFILE functionality to expose files on the server to the database system. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected.

An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A specially crafted database and/or table name can be used to trigger an SQL injection attack through the export functionality. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected.

A full path disclosure vulnerability was discovered in phpMyAdmin where a user can trigger a particular error in the export mechanism to discover the full path of phpMyAdmin on the disk. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected.

An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. A specially crafted database name could be used to run arbitrary PHP commands through the array export feature. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected.

XSS issues were discovered in phpMyAdmin. This affects Zoom search (specially crafted column content can be used to trigger an XSS attack); GIS editor (certain fields in the graphical GIS editor are not properly escaped and can be used to trigger an XSS attack); Relation view; the following Transformations: Formatted, Imagelink, JPEG: Upload, RegexValidation, JPEG inline, PNG inline, and transformation wrapper; XML export; MediaWiki export; Designer; When the MySQL server is running with a specially-crafted log_bin directive; Database tab; Replication feature; and Database search. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected.

An issue was discovered in cookie encryption in phpMyAdmin. The decryption of the username/password is vulnerable to a padding oracle attack. This can allow an attacker who has access to a user's browser cookie file to decrypt the username and password. Furthermore, the same initialization vector (IV) is used to hash the username and password stored in the phpMyAdmin cookie. If a user has the same password as their username, an attacker who examines the browser cookie can see that they are the same - but the attacker can not directly decode these values from the cookie as it is still hashed. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.4), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.8), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.17) are affected.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in phpMyAdmin 4.4.x before 4.4.15.6 and 4.6.x before 4.6.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via special characters that are mishandled during double URL decoding.

phpMyAdmin before 4.6.2 places tokens in query strings and does not arrange for them to be stripped before external navigation, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading (1) HTTP requests or (2) server logs.

The Transformation implementation in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 does not use the no-referrer Content Security Policy (CSP) protection mechanism, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct CSRF attacks by reading an authentication token in a Referer header, related to libraries/Header.php.

phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 does not properly choose delimiters to prevent use of the preg_replace e (aka eval) modifier, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a crafted string, as demonstrated by the table search-and-replace implementation.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving (1) a crafted table name that is mishandled during privilege checking in table_row.phtml, (2) a crafted mysqld log_bin directive that is mishandled in log_selector.phtml, (3) the Transformation implementation, (4) AJAX error handling in js/ajax.js, (5) the Designer implementation, (6) the charts implementation in js/tbl_chart.js, or (7) the zoom-search implementation in rows_zoom.phtml.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in examples/openid.php in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving an OpenID error message.

phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via vectors involving (1) an array value to FormDisplay.php, (2) incorrect data to validate.php, (3) unexpected data to Validator.php, (4) a missing config directory during setup, or (5) an incorrect OpenID identifier data type, which reveals the full path in an error message.

js/get_scripts.js.php in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large array in the scripts parameter.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7 and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving (1) server-privileges certificate data fields on the user privileges page, (2) an "invalid JSON" error message in the error console, (3) a database name in the central columns implementation, (4) a group name, or (5) a search name in the bookmarks implementation.

SQL injection vulnerability in libraries/central_columns.lib.php in phpMyAdmin 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7 and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via a crafted database name that is mishandled in a central column query.

setup/frames/index.inc.php in phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.15.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allows remote attackers to conduct BBCode injection attacks against HTTP sessions via a crafted URI.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin 4.4.x before 4.4.15.5 and 4.5.x before 4.5.5.1 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) normalization.php or (2) js/normalization.js in the database normalization page, (3) templates/database/structure/sortable_header.phtml in the database structure page, or (4) the pos parameter to db_central_columns.php in the central columns page.
