multiple vulnerabilities.");

"According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin
application hosted on the remote web server is 4.x prior to
4.8.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An arbitrary file read vulnerability exists in the transformation
    feature. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
    read arbitrary files and disclose sensitive information.
    (CVE-2018-19968)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to improper
    validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by
    convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to execute
    arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.
    (CVE-2018-19970)

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