Description

import.php in phpMyAdmin 4.x before 4.0.4.1 does not properly restrict the ability of input data to specify a file format, which allows remote authenticated users to modify the GLOBALS superglobal array, and consequently change the configuration, via a crafted request.

Solution(s)

  • phpmyadmin-upgrade-latest
