Summary

The suggestPassword function in js/functions.js in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.13, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.3, and 4.5.x before 4.5.4 relies on the Math.random JavaScript function, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess passwords via a brute-force approach.

        attackers to guess generated passwords via a brute-force
        approach.
    
      - CVE-2016-2039
        CSRF token values were generated by a non-secure random
        number generator, which allows remote attackers to
        bypass intended access restrictions by predicting a
        value.
    
      - CVE-2016-2040
        Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
        allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web
        script or HTML.
    
      - CVE-2016-2041
        phpMyAdmin does not use a constant-time algorithm for

        Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
        allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or
        HTML.
    
      - CVE-2016-5701
        For installations running on plain HTTP, phpMyAdmin
        allows remote attackers to conduct BBCode injection
        attacks against HTTP sessions via a crafted URI.
    
      - CVE-2016-5705
        Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
        allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or

      - CVE-2016-5706
        phpMyAdmin allows remote attackers to cause a denial of

        (CVE-2016-2039)

        to improper validation of user-supplied input to the
        home, database search, and zoom search pages. An
        authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a
