Summary
Access for an unprivileged user to MySQL user list.
Description
An unpriviledged user could view the MySQL user list and manipulate the tabs displayed in phpMyAdmin for them.
Severity
We consider this vulnerability to be non critical.
Mitigation factor
This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who is logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required pages. Moreover, the configuration storage must be set up for the user groups feature.
Affected Versions
Versions 4.1.x (prior to 4.1.14.2) and 4.2.x (prior to 4.2.6) are affected.
Solution
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.1.14.2 or newer, or 4.2.6 or newer, or apply the patch listed below.
