Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

setup/lib/ConfigGenerator.class.php in phpMyAdmin 3.x before 3.3.10.2 and 3.4.x before 3.4.3.1 does not properly restrict the presence of comment closing delimiters, which allows remote attackers to conduct static code injection attacks by leveraging the ability to modify the SESSION superglobal array.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
