Summary

phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via vectors involving (1) an array value to FormDisplay.php, (2) incorrect data to validate.php, (3) unexpected data to Validator.php, (4) a missing config directory during setup, or (5) an incorrect OpenID identifier data type, which reveals the full path in an error message.

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.

  - Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
    exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input
    before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote
    attacker can exploit these, via specially crafted
    requests, to execute arbitrary script code or HTML in a
    a user's browser session. (CVE-2016-5705)

  - A flaw exists in the js/get_scripts.js.php script when
    handling a large array in the 'scripts' parameter during
    the loading of a crafted JavaScript file. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
    cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5706)

  - A information disclosure vulnerability exists in the
    Example OpenID Authentication and Setup scripts that
    allows an remote attacker, via multiple vectors, to
    disclose the application's installation path in an
    error message. (CVE-2016-5730)

  - A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability
    exists in the examples/openid.php script when handling
    OpenID error messages due to improper validation of
    input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially
    crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a

  - Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
    exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input
    before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote
    attacker can exploit these, via specially crafted
    requests, to execute arbitrary script code or HTML in a
    user's browser session. (CVE-2016-5733)

  - A flaw exists in the table search and replace feature
    due to improper sanitization of parameters before
    passing them to the preg_replace() function. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via
    a specially crafted string, to execute arbitrary PHP
    code. (CVE-2016-5734)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the
    libraries/Header.class.php script when handling
    transformations due to a failure to use the 'no-referer'
    Content Security Policy (CSP) protection mechanism. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a

    user's browser session. (CVE-2016-5731)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the
    templates/table/structure/display_partitions.phtml
    script when handling table parameters due to improper
    validation of input before returning it to users. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a
    specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script
    code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2016-5732)

  - Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
    exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input
    before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote
    attacker can exploit these, via specially crafted
    requests, to execute arbitrary script code or HTML in a
    user's browser session. (CVE-2016-5733)

  - A flaw exists in the table search and replace feature
    due to improper sanitization of parameters before
    passing them to the preg_replace() function. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via
    a specially crafted string, to execute arbitrary PHP
    code. (CVE-2016-5734)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the
    libraries/Header.class.php script when handling
    transformations due to a failure to use the 'no-referer'
    Content Security Policy (CSP) protection mechanism. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a
    specially crafted Transformation, to disclose sensitive
    authentication token information, which then can be
    potentially used to facilitate cross-site request
    forgery (XSRF) attacks. (CVE-2016-5739)
