"According to its self-identified version number, the phpMyAdmin 3.5.x /
4.0.0 install hosted on the remote web server is earlier than 3.5.8.1 /
4.0.0-rc3 and is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The 'preg_replace' fails to properly sanitize
    arguments, which can be used to for arbitrary code
    execution. (CVE-2013-3238)

  - A security weakness exists in the way that locally saved
    databases are handled.  It is possible that the
    'filename_template' parameter can be used to create a
    file with double extensions. (CVE-2013-3239)

  - A flaw exists where the 'what' parameter was not
    correctly validated, allowing for a local file
    inclusion. This flaw reportedly affects phpMyAdmin 4.x
    only. (CVE-2013-3240)

  - A flaw exists in the 'export.php' script that allows
    overwrite of global variables, leading to an
    unauthorized access vulnerability. This flaw reportedly
    affects phpMyAdmin 4.x only. (CVE-2013-3241)");
