According to its self-reported version, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.4.x prior to 4.4.15.1 or 4.5.x prior to 4.5.1. It is, therefore, affected by a content spoofing vulnerability.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
