Risk: Low

CVE-ID: CVE-2011-0987

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.

The PMA_Bookmark_get function in libraries/bookmark.lib.php in phpMyAdmin 2.11.x before 2.11.11.3, and 3.3.x before 3.3.9.2, does not properly restrict bookmark queries, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to trigger another user's execution of a SQL query by creating a bookmark.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
