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 does not properly choose delimiters to prevent use of the preg_replace e (aka eval) modifier, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a crafted string, as demonstrated by the table search-and-replace implementation.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Manipulating User-Controlled Variables
    This attack targets user controlled variables (DEBUG=1, PHP Globals, and So Forth). An attacker can override environment variables leveraging user-supplied, untrusted query variables directly used on the application server without any data sanitization. In extreme cases, the attacker can change variables controlling the business logic of the application. For instance, in languages like PHP, a number of poorly set default configurations may allow the user to override variables.

  - A flaw exists in the libraries/central_columns.lib.php

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

  - 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

"According to its self-reported version number, the phpMyAdmin
application hosted on the remote web server is 4.0.x prior to
4.0.10.16. It is, therefore, affected by the following
vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the setup/frames/index.inc.php script
    that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access
    the program on a non-HTTPS connection and thereby inject
    arbitrary BBCode against HTTP sessions. (CVE-2016-5701)

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

  - 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)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has
instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.");
