phpMyAdmin 4.1.x < 4.1.14.1 / 4.2.x < 4.2.4 Navigation Hiding Items Multiple XSS (PMASA-2014-3)

According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin install hosted on the remote web server is 4.1.x prior to 4.1.14.1 or 4.2.x prior to 4.2.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

The flaws exist due to user input not being validated in a crafted table name after a hide or unhide action. This could allow a remote attacker, with a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code within the browser / server trust relationship.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
