According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.5.x prior to 4.5.4.
It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in multiple scripts that allows a remote attacker, via a specially crafted request, to disclose the software’s installation path. (CVE-2016-2044)
A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input to the SQL editor. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted SQL query, to execute arbitrary script code in a user’s browser session.
(CVE-2016-2045)
Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
