Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin before 2.11.1.2 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via certain input available in (1) PHP_SELF in (a) server_status.php, and (b) grab_globals.lib.php, (c) display_change_password.lib.php, and (d) common.lib.php in libraries/; and certain input available in PHP_SELF and (2) PATH_INFO in libraries/common.inc.php. NOTE: there might also be other vectors related to (3) REQUEST_URI.
CVE-2007-5589
This CVE was only ever scored under CVSS v2.0. NVD CVSS v2.0 base 4.3 — v2 rates that MEDIUM (v2 bands: LOW 0.0–3.9 / MEDIUM 4.0–6.9 / HIGH 7.0–10.0; v2 has no CRITICAL band). Vector AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N. CVSS v2 is an older, coarser metric than v3.1/v4.0 (no Scope, no User Interaction, no Attack Requirements), so it is not directly comparable to a v3 or v4 score. NVD has never re-scored this record under v3. EPSS predicts 3.3% exploitation probability in the next 30 days, which is reflected in EG Risk but does not lift the v2 base. Confidence: LOW.
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score: it fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. Distinct from the 0–10 EG Score (severity).
