phpMyAdmin reports:

Summary

Multiple XSS in Table operations, Database structure, Trigger and Visualize GIS data pages.
Description

Using a crafted table name, it was possible to produce a XSS : 1) On the Database Structure page, creating a new table with a crafted name 2) On the Database Structure page, using the Empty and Drop links of the crafted table name 3) On the Table Operations page of a crafted table, using the 'Empty the table (TRUNCATE)' and 'Delete the table (DROP)' links 4) On the Triggers page of a database containing tables with a crafted name, when opening the 'Add Trigger' popup 5) When creating a trigger for a table with a crafted name, with an invalid definition. Having crafted data in a database table, it was possible to produce a XSS : 6) When visualizing GIS data, having a crafted label name.
Severity

We consider these vulnerabilities to be non critical.
Mitigation factor

These XSS can only be triggered when a table with a crafted name is already present, or if crafted data is already stored in a database table.
Affected Versions

Versions 3.4.x are affected, for issues #1 and #2. Versions 3.5.x are affected, for all issues.
Solution

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 3.4.11.1 or 3.5.2.2 or newer or apply the patches listed below.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin

arbitrary web script or HTML via a Table Operations (1) TRUNCATE or
(2) DROP link for a crafted table name, (3) the Add Trigger popup
within a Triggers page that references crafted table names, (4) an
invalid trigger-creation attempt for a crafted table name, (5) crafted
data in a table, or (6) a crafted tooltip label name during GIS data
visualization, a different issue than CVE-2012-4345.
