Summary

libraries/session.inc.php 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 does not properly generate CSRF token values, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by predicting a value.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Subverting Environment Variable Values
    The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
  • Footprinting
    An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
  • Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
  • Browser Fingerprinting
    An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
  • Session Credential Falsification through Prediction
    This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

  - CVE-2016-1927
    The suggestPassword function relied on a non-secure
    random number generator which makes it easier for remote
    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.

    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
    comparing CSRF tokens, which makes it easier for remote
    attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by
    measuring time differences.

  - CVE-2016-2560
    Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
    allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or
    HTML.

  - CVE-2016-2561

  - CVE-2016-5099
    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
    HTML.

  - CVE-2016-5706
    phpMyAdmin allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
    service (resource consumption) via a large array in the
    scripts parameter.

  - CVE-2016-5731
    A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows remote
    attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

  - CVE-2016-5733
    Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities

It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to the use of the Math.random() JavaScript function which does not provide cryptographically secure random numbers. A remote attacker can exploit this to guess passwords via a brute-force attack. (CVE-2016-1927) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in multiple scripts that allows a remote attacker, via a specially crafted request, to disclose the software

4.0.10.13, 4.4.x prior to 4.4.15.3, or 4.5.x prior to 4.5.4. It is,
therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to the use of
    the Math.random() JavaScript function which does not
    provide cryptographically secure random numbers. A
    remote attacker can exploit this to guess passwords via
    a brute-force attack. (CVE-2016-1927)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in
    multiple scripts that allows a remote attacker, via a
    specially crafted request, to disclose the software's
    installation path. (CVE-2016-2038)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to generating
    XSRF tokens with cryptographically insecure values. A
    remote attacker can exploit this to bypass intended
    access restrictions by predicting a value.
    (CVE-2016-2039)

  - Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exist due
    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
    specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script
    code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2016-2040)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to a failure
    to use a constant-time algorithm for comparing XSRF
    tokens. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a timing
    attack, to bypass intended access restrictions.
    (CVE-2016-2041)

instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.");

    descriptionSeveral flaws were discovered in the CSRF authentication code of phpMyAdmin. CVE-2016-2039 The XSRF/CSRF token is generated with a weak algorithm using functions that do not return cryptographically secure values. CVE-2016-2041 The comparison of the XSRF/CSRF token parameter with the value saved in the session is vulnerable to timing attacks. Moreover, the comparison could be bypassed if the XSRF/CSRF token matches a particular pattern. NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
