According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin application hosted on the remote web server is 4.x prior to 4.9.4, or 5.x prior to 5.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by a SQL injection (SQLi) vulnerability in the user accounts page. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by injecting custom SQL in place of their own username, to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, resulting in the disclosure or manipulation of arbitrary data.

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