Descriptions

An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin before 4.8.5. When the AllowArbitraryServer configuration setting is set to true, with the use of a rogue MySQL server, an attacker can read any file on the server that the web server's user can access. This is related to the mysql.allow_local_infile PHP configuration, and the inadvertent ignoring of "options(MYSQLI_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE" calls.

Se ha descubierto un problema en phpMyAdmin en versiones anteriores a la 4.8.5. Cuando el ajuste de configuración "AllowArbitraryServer" se establece en "true" con el uso de un servidor MySQL no autorizado, un atacante puede leer cualquier archivo en el servidor que sea accesible por cualquier usuario del servido web. Esto está relacionado con la configuración PHP mysql.allow_local_infile y la omisión inadvertida de llamadas "options(MYSQLI_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE".

It was discovered that there was a bug in the way phpMyAdmin handles the phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage tables. An authenticated attacker could use this vulnerability to cause phpmyAdmin to leak sensitive files. It was discovered that phpMyAdmin incorrectly handled user input. An attacker could possibly use this for an XSS attack. It was discovered that phpMyAdmin mishandled certain input. An attacker could use this vulnerability to execute a cross-site scripting attack via a crafted URL. Various other issues were also addressed.
