Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Cross-site scripting

EUVDB-ID: #VU44861

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2011-2642

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when processing data passed via a crafted table name. Per: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2011-9.php 'The attacker must trick the victim into clicking a link that reaches phpMyAdmin's table print view script; one of the link's parameters is a crafted table name (the name containing Javascript code).' 'Mitigation factor The crafted table name must exist (the attacker must have access to create a table on the victim's server).&#039. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.

Mitigation

Cybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.

2) Path traversal

EUVDB-ID: #VU44862

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2011-2643

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in sql.php in phpMyAdmin 3.4.x before 3.4.3.2, when configuration storage is enabled,. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via directory traversal sequences in a MIME-type transformation parameter.

Mitigation

Cybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.

4) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU44864

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2011-2719

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No
