According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin install hosted on the remote web server is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
The flaws exist due to user input not being validated in a crafted database or table name after being added to the favorite or recent table list. This could allow a remote authenticated attacker, with a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code within the browser / server trust relationship.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
