According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.x prior to 4.8.5. It is, therefore, affected by at least one of the following vulnerabilities:

  • A SQL injection (SQLi) vulnerability exists in phpMyAdmin due to improper validation of user-supplied input.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, resulting in the disclosure or manipulation of arbitrary data (CVE-2019-6798).

  • An arbitrary file read vulnerability exists in phpMyAdmin when the AllowArbitraryServer configuration setting is set to true. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a rogue MySQL server, to read arbitrary files and disclose sensitive information (CVE-2019-6799).

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
