Summary
XSS vulnerabilities in SQL debug output and server monitor page.
Description
With a crafted database or table name it is possible to trigger an XSS in SQL debug output when enabled and in server monitor page when viewing and analysing executed queries.
Severity
We consider this vulnerability to be non critical.
Mitigation factor
This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who is logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required pages. Moreover, debugging SQL is a developer option which is disabled by default and expected to be disabled in production environments.
Affected Versions
Versions 4.0.x (prior to 4.0.10.5), 4.1.x (prior to 4.1.14.6) and 4.2.x (prior to 4.2.10.1) are affected.
Solution
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.5 or newer, or 4.1.14.6 or newer, or 4.2.10.1 or newer, or apply the patch listed below.
