"The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in
the USN-4639-1 advisory.
It was discovered that there was a bug in the way phpMyAdmin handles the phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage
tables. An authenticated attacker could use this vulnerability to cause phpmyAdmin to leak sensitive
files. (CVE-2018-19968)
It was discovered that phpMyAdmin incorrectly handled user input. An attacker could possibly use this for
an XSS attack. (CVE-2018-19970)
It was discovered that phpMyAdmin mishandled certain input. An attacker could use this vulnerability to
execute a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack via a crafted URL. (CVE-2018-7260)
It was discovered that phpMyAdmin failed to sanitize certain input. An attacker could use this
vulnerability to execute an SQL injection attack via a specially crafted database name. (CVE-2019-11768)
It was discovered that phpmyadmin incorrectly handled some requests. An attacker could possibly use this
to perform a CSRF attack. (CVE-2019-12616)
It was discovered that phpMyAdmin failed to sanitize certain input. An attacker could use this
vulnerability to execute an SQL injection attack via a specially crafted username. (CVE-2019-6798,
CVE-2020-10804, CVE-2020-5504)
It was discovered that phpMyAdmin would allow sensitive files to be leaked if certain configuration
options were set. An attacker could use this vulnerability to access confidential information.
(CVE-2019-6799)
It was discovered that phpMyAdmin failed to sanitize certain input. An attacker could use this
vulnerability to execute an SQL injection attack via a specially crafted database or table name.
(CVE-2020-10802)
It was discovered that phpMyAdmin did not properly handle data from the database when displaying it. If an
attacker were to insert specially- crafted data into certain database tables, the attacker could execute a
cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. (CVE-2020-10803)
It was discovered that phpMyAdmin was vulnerable to an XSS attack. If a victim were to click on a crafted
link, an attacker could run malicious JavaScript on the victim's system. (CVE-2020-26934)
It was discovered that phpMyAdmin did not properly handler certain SQL statements in the search feature.
An attacker could use this vulnerability to inject malicious SQL into a query. (CVE-2020-26935)
It was discovered that phpMyAdmin did not properly sanitize certain input. An attacker could use this
vulnerability to possibly execute an HTML injection or a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
(CVE-2019-19617)
