GUnet OpenEclass 1.7.3 includes phpMyAdmin 2.10.0.2 by default, which allows remote logins. Attackers with access to the platform can remotely access phpMyAdmin and, after uploading a shell, view the config.php file to obtain the MySQL password, leading to full database compromise.
An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 5.x before 5.2.2. An XSS vulnerability has been discovered for the check tables feature. A crafted table or database name could be used for XSS.
An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 5.x before 5.2.2. An XSS vulnerability has been discovered for the Insert tab.
In phpMyAdmin before 4.9.11 and 5.x before 5.2.1, an authenticated user can trigger Cross-site Scripting (XSS) by uploading a crafted .sql file through the drag-and-drop interface. By disabling the configuration directive $cfg['enabledragdropimport'], users will be unable to use the drag and drop upload which would protect against the vulnerability.
SQL Injection vulnerability in function getTableCreationQuery in CreateAddField.php in phpMyAdmin 5.x before 5.2.0 via the tblstorageengine or tblcollation parameters to tblcreate.php.
Latest version: 5.2.3
Latest version: 5.2.3
PhpMyAdmin 5.1.1 and before allows an attacker to retrieve potentially sensitive information by creating invalid requests. This affects the lang parameter, the pmaparameter, and the cookie section.
An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 4.9 before 4.9.8 and 5.1 before 5.1.2. A valid user who is already authenticated to phpMyAdmin can manipulate their account to bypass two-factor authentication for future login instances.
An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 5.1 before 5.1.2. An attacker can inject malicious code into aspects of the setup script, which can allow XSS or HTML injection.

DISPUTED phpMyAdmin through 5.0.2 allows CSV injection via Export Section. NOTE: the vendor disputes this because "the CSV file is accurately generated based on the database contents."
An issue was discovered in SearchController in phpMyAdmin before 4.9.6 and 5.x before 5.0.3. A SQL injection vulnerability was discovered in how phpMyAdmin processes SQL statements in the search feature. An attacker could use this flaw to inject malicious SQL in to a query.
phpMyAdmin before 4.9.6 and 5.x before 5.0.3 allows XSS through the transformation feature via a crafted link.
DISPUTED phpMyAdmin 5.0.2 allows CRLF injection, as demonstrated by %0D%0Astring%0D%0A inputs to login form fields causing CRLF sequences to be reflected on an error page. NOTE: the vendor states "I don't see anything specifically exploitable."
In phpMyAdmin 4.x before 4.9.5 and 5.x before 5.0.2, a SQL injection vulnerability was found in retrieval of the current username (in libraries/classes/Server/Privileges.php and libraries/classes/UserPassword.php). A malicious user with access to the server could create a crafted username, and then trick the victim into performing specific actions with that user account (such as editing its privileges).
In phpMyAdmin 4.x before 4.9.5 and 5.x before 5.0.2, a SQL injection vulnerability was discovered where malicious code could be used to trigger an XSS attack through retrieving and displaying results (in tblgetfield.php and libraries/classes/Display/Results.php). The attacker must be able to insert crafted data into certain database tables, which when retrieved (for instance, through the Browse tab) can trigger the XSS attack.
In phpMyAdmin 4.x before 4.9.5 and 5.x before 5.0.2, a SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered where certain parameters are not properly escaped when generating certain queries for search actions in libraries/classes/Controllers/Table/TableSearchController.php. An attacker can generate a crafted database or table name. The attack can be performed if a user attempts certain search operations on the malicious database or table.
In phpMyAdmin 4 before 4.9.4 and 5 before 5.0.1, SQL injection exists in the user accounts page. A malicious user could inject custom SQL in place of their own username when creating queries to this page. An attacker must have a valid MySQL account to access the server.

phpMyAdmin before 4.9.2 does not escape certain Git information, related to libraries/classes/Display/GitRevision.php and libraries/classes/Footer.php.
An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin before 4.9.2. A crafted database/table name can be used to trigger a SQL injection attack through the designer feature.
A CSRF issue in phpMyAdmin 4.9.0.1 allows deletion of any server in the Setup page.
An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin before 4.9.0. A vulnerability was found that allows an attacker to trigger a CSRF attack against a phpMyAdmin user. The attacker can trick the user, for instance through a broken <img> tag pointing at the victim's phpMyAdmin database, and the attacker can potentially deliver a payload (such as a specific INSERT or DELETE statement) to the victim.
An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin before 4.9.0.1. A vulnerability was reported where a specially crafted database name can be used to trigger an SQL injection attack through the designer feature.

An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin before 4.8.5. When the AllowArbitraryServer configuration setting is set to true, with the use of a rogue MySQL server, an attacker can read any file on the server that the web server's user can access. This is related to the mysql.allowlocalinfile PHP configuration, and the inadvertent ignoring of "options(MYSQLIOPTLOCALINFILE" calls.
