phpMyAdmin Remote Code Execution

Published Apr 26, 2013 · Updated Aug 6, 2024 · Assigned by mitre

Package: phpmyadmin Package: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin Ecosystem: Debian Ecosystem: Packagist

Description

phpMyAdmin 3.5.x before 3.5.8 and 4.x before 4.0.0-rc3, when a SaveDir directory is configured, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code by using a double extension in the filename of an export file, leading to interpretation of this file as an executable file by the Apache HTTP Server, as demonstrated by a .php.sql filename.
