According to its self-identified version number, the phpMyAdmin 3.5.x / 4.0.0 install hosted on the remote web server is earlier than 3.5.8.1 / 4.0.0-rc3 and is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
The โpreg_replaceโ fails to properly sanitize arguments, which can be used to for arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-3238)
A security weakness exists in the way that locally saved databases are handled. It is possible that the โfilename_templateโ parameter can be used to create a file with double extensions. (CVE-2013-3239)
A flaw exists where the โwhatโ parameter was not correctly validated, allowing for a local file inclusion. This flaw reportedly affects phpMyAdmin 4.x only. (CVE-2013-3240)
A flaw exists in the โexport.phpโ script that allows overwrite of global variables, leading to an unauthorized access vulnerability. This flaw reportedly affects phpMyAdmin 4.x only. (CVE-2013-3241)
