Discussion

phpMyAdmin 'table' Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability

phpMyAdmin is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query.

Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

Authentication is required to access these scripts, but attackers may also make use of cross-site-request-forgery attacks to exploit this issue.

This issue affects versions prior to phpMyAdmin 2.11.9.4 and 3.1.1.0.
