According to its banner, the remote version of phpMyAdmin is between 2.5.0 and 2.6.0-pl1. Such versions may allow an authenticated, remote attacker to run arbitrary commands subject to the privileges of the web server due to the way external MIME-based transformations are handled.

Note that successful exploitation requires that PHP’s ‘safe_mode’ be disabled and that the administrator not only prepare a special table for keeping some information but also specify it in a configuration.
