The version of phpMyAdmin hosted on the remote server is 3.4.x prior to 3.4.8 and is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. The database name is not properly sanitized in the file βjs/db_operations.jsβ when attempting to rename a database.
Note that this version is reportedly affected by several other cross- site scripting vulnerabilities. However, Nessus has not tested for these vulnerabilities.
