Description

According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.4.x prior to 4.4.15.3 or 4.5.x prior to 4.5.4. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  • An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the AES.php and Rijndael.php scripts that allows a remote attacker, via a specially crafted request, to disclose the software's installation path. (CVE-2016-2042)

  • A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input to the normalization script when handling a crafted table name before returning it to users. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2016-2043)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
