Multiple XSS flaws have been recently reported in the v3.4.4 version of phpMyAdmin (PMASA-2011-14): [1] http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2011-14.php 1) An XSS flaw was found in the way phpMyAdmin processed row content, containing JavaScript code, after its inline editing and saving, 2) It was found that phpMyAdmin did not properly sanitize the content of db, table, and column names prior use of their values. A remote attacker could use these flaws to conduct XSS attacks (execute arbitrary HTML or web script) by tricking authenticated phpMyAdmin user into visiting of a specially-crafted URL.
