EUVDB-ID: #VU45320

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2011-0987

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote #AU# to read and manipulate data.

The PMA_Bookmark_get function in libraries/bookmark.lib.php in phpMyAdmin 2.11.x before 2.11.11.3, and 3.3.x before 3.3.9.2, does not properly restrict bookmark queries, which makes it easier for remote authenticated users to trigger another user's execution of a SQL query by creating a bookmark.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
