Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2005-3299 affects phpMyAdmin 2.6.4 and 2.6.4-pl1. A flaw in grab_globals.lib.php could let a remote attacker make phpMyAdmin include local files through the $__redirect parameter. For executives, the concern is legacy internet-facing database administration software exposing sensitive server-side files or enabling deeper compromise depending on deployment. Exposure is most likely in very old phpMyAdmin installations, packaged legacy servers, or forgotten admin paths. Systems not running phpMyAdmin 2.6.4 or 2.6.4-pl1 are not shown affected by the supplied evidence. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item with high priority if any affected phpMyAdmin instance is internet-facing. The age of the CVE lowers likelihood in modern environments, but exposed database administration tools can create outsized business risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory phpMyAdmin installations and versions across public and internal servers.; Remove or isolate phpMyAdmin 2.6.4 and 2.6.4-pl1 instances.; Check phpMyAdmin PMASA-2005-4 and distributor advisories for fixed package guidance..
