• Please be aware: Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been deprecated
    With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers" will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.
  • We’re working on enhancing the Monitoring feature in Plesk, and we could really use your expertise! If you’re open to sharing your experiences with server and website monitoring or providing feedback, we’d love to have a one-hour online meeting with you.

Description

A vulnerability was found that allows an attacker to trigger a CSRF attack against a phpMyAdmin user. The attacker can trick the user, for instance through a broken <img> tag pointing at the victim's phpMyAdmin database, and the attacker can potentially deliver a payload (such as a specific INSERT or DELETE statement) through the victim.

Severity
We consider this vulnerability to be severe.

Mitigation factor
Only the 'cookie' auth_type is affected; users can temporary use phpMyAdmin's http authentication as a workaround.

Affected Versions
All versions prior to phpMyAdmin 4.9.0 are affected, probably at least as old as version 4.0 (perhaps even earlier)

Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.9.0 or newer or apply patch listed below.
