Discussion

phpPgAdmin Included File Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability

phpPgAdmin is a freely available tool that provides a WWW interface for handling PostgreSQL adminstrative tasks. It is derived from phpMyAdmin, which is used for MySQL administrative tasks.

An input validation error exists in phpPgAdmin that could allow remote users to cause arbitrary files to be included and loaded by the PHP interpreter at runtime. This may result in the disclosure of sensitive information or the execution of arbitrary code on a host running the software.
