Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in phpMyAdmin's setup
feature which allows an attacker to inject arbitrary PHP
code into a configuration file. The original advisory says
the vulnerability is present in phpMyAdmin versions 2.11.x
3.0.1.1.

The file where our payload is written
(phpMyAdmin/config/config.inc.php) is not directly used by
the system, so it may be a good idea to either delete it or
copy the running config (phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php) over it
after successful exploitation.
