Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2014-07-23 14:06:45 UTC
phpMyAdmin upstream released an advisory [1] which fixes 2 issues in phpMyAdmin versions prior to 4.0.10:

1) Input passed via the column name to the table structure page when dropping a column is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

2) Input passed via the table name to the table operations page when dropping or truncating a table is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.
