security bypass vulnerability.");

"According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin
application hosted on the remote web server is 4.3.x prior to 4.3.13.2
or 4.4.x prior to 4.4.14.1. It is, therefore, affected by a security
bypass vulnerability related to reCaptcha processing. An
unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the
reCaptcha test, resulting in a bypass of brute-force protection.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied
only on the application's self-reported version number.");
