Description Laura Pardo 2018-06-22 21:05:53 UTC

An issue was discovered in js/designer/move.js in phpMyAdmin before 4.8.2. A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability has been found where an attacker can use a crafted database name to trigger an XSS attack when that database is referenced from the Designer feature.

Created phpMyAdmin tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: epel-all [bug 1594417]
Affects: fedora-all [bug 1594416]

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2018-06-22 22:34:20 UTC

Laura, can you see if this really affects phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.20 and 4.4.15.10
as shipped by EPEL 6 and 7?

Comment 3 Laura Pardo 2018-06-25 13:19:00 UTC

Hi Robert,

The affected code was introduced in this commit:
https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/commit/f4026f60a4b557cbcc61e11f26167a2759ad94af

Therefore versions shipped in EPEL are not affected

Comment 4 Fedora Update System 2018-07-01 22:34:51 UTC

phpMyAdmin-4.8.2-1.fc28 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
