Title: phpMyAdmin Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
phpMyAdmin is a freely available tool that provides a WWW interface for handling MySQL adminstrative tasks.
An input validation error exists in phpMyAdmin that could allow remote users to cause arbitrary commands to be executed by the PHP interpreter at runtime.
The problem is the result of how some variables are handled in the 'tbl_copy.php' and 'tbl_rename.php' scripts. It is possible to submit values for certain variables internal to the scripts. Under certain circumstances, the variables are evaluated with the eval() command, making it possible for an attacker to submit the commands he or she wishes to have executed as the value of that variable.
No authentication mechanisms are enabled with default installations of phpMyAdmin.
