The PMA_escapeJsString function in libraries/js_escape.lib.php in phpMyAdmin before 2.11.9.2, when Internet Explorer is used, allows remote attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) protection mechanisms and conduct XSS attacks via a NUL byte inside a "</script" sequence.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old phpMyAdmin browser-side security flaw. In versions before 2.11.9.2, a crafted value could bypass JavaScript escaping in Internet Explorer and run script in a user’s phpMyAdmin session. Business risk depends on whether legacy phpMyAdmin is still exposed or reachable by administrators. Exposure is most likely in legacy self-hosted phpMyAdmin deployments older than 2.11.9.2, including distribution-packaged copies. Risk is higher where phpMyAdmin is reachable from untrusted networks and administrators use vulnerable Internet Explorer behavior. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless old phpMyAdmin remains internet-facing. Prioritize remediation where database administration panels are externally reachable, because XSS in phpMyAdmin can become serious when it reaches privileged users. Mitigation focus: Upgrade phpMyAdmin to 2.11.9.2 or later.; Apply vendor distribution updates for packaged phpMyAdmin deployments.; Check phpMyAdmin PMASA-2008-8 and OS vendor guidance..
