CVE-2005-0567

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

phpMyAdmin 2.6.1 contains multiple PHP remote file inclusion vulnerabilities. An attacker can modify the 'theme' parameter in phpmyadmin.css.php or the 'cfg[Server][extension]' parameter in database_interface.lib.php to point to a remote server containing malicious code, leading to arbitrary PHP code execution.

Risk Assessment

The risk to the organization is the potential for complete server compromise through remote code execution, which could result in data theft, database modification, or further attacks on the infrastructure.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade phpMyAdmin to a version newer than 2.6.1 that does not contain these vulnerabilities. If upgrading is not possible, restrict access to the phpMyAdmin interface to trusted IP addresses only.
