Title: phpMyAdmin Theme Variable Local File Inclusion Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
phpMyAdmin is a freely available tool that provides a web interface for handling MySQL administrative tasks, such as creating databases and tables. It is implemented in PHP and will run on Unix and Unix variant operating systems, Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
phpMyAdmin is prone to a local file include vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
The 'theme' cookie variable may be used by an attacker to override data in a predefined variable. The attacker may use this vulnerability to execute local script files on the affected computer.
An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary server-side script code that resides on an affected computer with the privileges of the Web server process. This may potentially facilitate unauthorized access.
phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl2 and earlier versions are reported to be vulnerable.
