CVE-2023-25727 →

📋 Description

In phpMyAdmin before 4.9.11 and 5.x before 5.2.1, an authenticated user can trigger Cross-site Scripting (XSS) by uploading a crafted .sql file through the drag-and-drop interface. By disabling the configuration directive $cfg['enable_drag_drop_import'], users will be unable to use the drag and drop upload which would protect against the vulnerability.

🎯 Affected products2

composer/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin:>= 4.3.0, < 4.9.11
composer/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin:>= 5.0, < 5.2.1
