phpMyAdmin Improper Authentication

Source: GitHub Advisory Database (reviewed) High CVE-2018-12613

Packagist phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin >= 4.8, < 4.8.2 4.8.2

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 4.8.x before 4.8.2, in which an attacker can include (view and potentially execute) files on the server. The vulnerability comes from a portion of code where pages are redirected and loaded within phpMyAdmin, and an improper test for whitelisted pages. An attacker must be authenticated, except in the "$cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] = true" case (where an attacker can specify any host he/she is already in control of, and execute arbitrary code on phpMyAdmin) and the "$cfg['ServerDefault'] = 0" case (which bypasses the login requirement and runs the vulnerable code without any authentication).
