Severity We consider this attack to be of moderate severity. Affected Versions phpMyAdmin versions prior to 4.8.2. Solution Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.8.2 or newer or apply patch listed below. References Thanks to William Desportes for discovering this flaw. Assigned CVE ids: CVE-2018-12581 CWE ids: CWE-661 Patches The following commits have been made on the 4.8 branch to fix this issue: 6943fff87324bd54c3a37a5160a5fb77498c355e ============================================================================== PMASA-2018-4 Announcement-ID: PMASA-2018-4 Date: 2018-06-19 Updated: 2018-06-21 Summary File inclusion and remote code execution attack Description A flaw has been discovered where an attacker can include (view and potentially execute) files on the server. The vulnerability comes from a portion of code where pages are redirected and loaded within phpMyAdmin, and an improper test for whitelisted pages. An attacker must be authenticated, except in these situations: o $cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] = true: attacker can specify any host he/she is already in control of, and execute arbitrary code on phpMyAdmin o $cfg['ServerDefault'] = 0: this bypasses the login and runs the vulnerable code without any authentication Severity We consider this to be severe. Mitigation factor Configuring PHP with a restrictive `open_basedir` can greatly restrict an attacker's ability to view files on the server. Vulnerable systems should not be run with the phpMyAdmin directives $cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] or $cfg['ServerDefault'] Affected Versions phpMyAdmin 4.8.0 and 4.8.1 are affected. Solution Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.8.2 or newer or apply patch listed below.
