The version of phpMyAdmin hosted on the remote web server is 3.4.x less than 3.4.9 and thus is reportedly affected by two cross-site scripting vulnerabilities :

  • The β€˜libraries/display_export.lib.php’ script does not properly sanitize the β€˜$_GET’ array elements β€˜limit_to’, β€˜limit_from’ and β€˜filename_template’ before returning it to the client. (CVE-2011-4780)

  • The β€˜libraries/config/ConfigFile.class.php’ script does not properly sanitize input in the β€˜$host’ parameter before returning it to the client. Note that this issue relates to the β€˜/setup’ directory and configuration of the application and should not be exploitable if the recommended installation steps have been performed.
    (CVE-2011-4782)
