"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201707-03
(phpMyAdmin: Security bypass)

    A vulnerability was discovered where the restrictions caused by
      “$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘AllowNoPassword’] = false” are bypassed
      under certain PHP versions. This can lead compromised user accounts, who
      have no passwords set, even if the administrator has set
      “$cfg[‘Servers’][$i][‘AllowNoPassword’]” to false (which is
      the default).
    This behavior depends on the PHP version used (it seems PHP 5 is
      affected, while PHP 7.0 is not).
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker, who only needs to know the username, could bypass
      security restrictions and access phpMyAdmin.
  
Workaround :

    Set a password for all users."
