xss in phpmyadmin >=2.8.0 and < 2.10.0


Arrow  SecurityAlert : 2402
Arrow  CVE : CVE-2007-1395
Arrow  SecurityRisk : Low  Security Risk Low  (About)
Arrow  Remote Exploit : Yes
Arrow  Local Exploit : No
Arrow  Exploit Available : Yes
Arrow  Credit : alfa
Arrow  Published : 14.03.2007

Arrow  Affected Software : phpmyadmin >=2.8.0 and < 2.10.0



Arrow  Advisory Content :  

This xss (with xsrf possibility) works only when logged in, but since in
many places anonymous logins are allowed and many webhost companies offer
just 1 or few phpmyadmins for a large number of users, i consider it worth
to be published.

Theoretically it is possible to obtain and use the cookie and token
variables (which are necessary to get this XSS working) but i haven't made
a working poc atm, but i'm sure others will have the capability to do so.

The problem is bad filtering of $db and $table where they only check for
(lowercase) </script>-tag and not for the (uppercase)</SCRIPT>-tag to break
out of the javascript.

More details can be found in an advisory found here:
http://www.virtuax.be/advisories/Advisory2-24012007.txt

possible attack strings could look like:
http://phpmyadmin.example.com/index.php?token=$token&db/table=';[XSS]
http://phpmyadmin.example.com/index.php?token=$token&db/table=</SCRIPT><
/head><body>[HTML]

in each case if you're running phpmyadmin <= 2.9 it's wise to update,
stefan esser has even used phpmyadmin as an example in one of the bugs he
found and reported in (his) mopb over a week ago(
http://www.php-security.org/MOPB/MOPB-02-2007.html and
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/)
