According to its banner, the version of phpMyAdmin installed on the remote host may suffer from two cross-site scripting vulnerabilities due to its failure to sanitize user input to the ‘error’ parameter of the ‘error.php’ script and in ‘libraries/auth/cookie.auth.lib.php’. A remote attacker may use these vulnerabilities to cause arbitrary HTML and script code to be executed in a user’s browser within the context of the affected application.
