Description
The phpMyAdmin team reports: Summary Bypass $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] Description A vulnerability was discovered where the restrictions caused by $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false are bypassed under certain PHP versions. This can allow the login of users who have no password set even if the administrator has set $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] to false (which is also the default). This behavior depends on the PHP version used (it seems PHP 5 is affected, while PHP 7.0 is not). Severity We consider this vulnerability to be of moderate severity. Mitigation factor Set a password for all users.
