CVE-2007-6100: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in libraries/auth/cookie.auth.lib.php in phpMyAdmin before 2.11.2....

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-6100 is an XSS flaw in old phpMyAdmin login handling. If a vulnerable phpMyAdmin instance uses cookie authentication, a remote attacker could inject script or HTML through the login page parameter. The main business risk is credential or session exposure for database administration interfaces. Exposure is most likely on legacy phpMyAdmin deployments older than 2.11.2.2, especially internet-reachable administration panels using cookie auth_type. Current maintained deployments are unlikely to be affected, but asset inventories often miss old admin tools. Prioritize remediation if any legacy phpMyAdmin interface remains reachable by users or the internet. The vulnerability is old and lacks a severity score, but compromise of database administration sessions can create disproportionate business impact. Mitigation focus: Upgrade phpMyAdmin installations older than 2.11.2.2 according to vendor guidance.; Review PMASA-2007-8 and distribution advisories for package-specific update instructions.; Remove or retire obsolete phpMyAdmin instances no longer required..
