TYPO3-EXT-SA-2011-005: Multiple XSS vulnerabilities in extension phpMyAdmin (phpmyadmin)

It has been discovered that the extension phpMyAdmin (phpmyadmin) is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting.

Component Type: Third party extension. This extension is not a part of the TYPO3 default installation.

Affected Versions: Version 4.11.3 and below

Vulnerability Type: Multiple Cross-Site Scripting

Severity: Medium

Suggested CVSS v2.0: AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N/E:ND/RL:OF/RC:C (What's that?)

References: PMASA-2011-13

Release Date: 26.08.2011

 

Problem Description: Because user input is not properly sanitized, phpmyadmin is susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting. An attacker must have permissions to change table, column or index names to exploit this problem.

 

Solution: An updated version 4.11.4 is available from the TYPO3 extension manager and attypo3.org/extensions/repository/view/phpmyadmin/4.11.4/. Users of the extension are advised to update the extension as soon as possible.

The TYPO3 Security Team requests TYPO3 administrators to consider our advice from TYPO3-SA-2009-015 to either use extension phpMyAdmin only on development servers or to use the phpMyAdmin standalone application on production servers.

Credits: Thanks to Andreas Beutel for providing a TYPO3 extension package with an updated phpMyAdmin version.
