Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in pmd_pdf.php in phpMyAdmin 3.0.0, and possibly other versions including 2.11.9.2 and 3.0.1, when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the db parameter, a different vector than CVE-2006-6942 and CVE-2007-5977.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old phpMyAdmin cross-site scripting issue. If an exposed phpMyAdmin instance runs affected versions and PHP register_globals is enabled, an attacker could inject script or HTML through a database-name parameter. Business risk is mainly session theft, admin impersonation, or browser-side actions against database administrators. Exposure is most likely in legacy phpMyAdmin deployments, especially internet-accessible administrative panels using old PHP configurations with register_globals enabled. Modern or unsupported status is not established by the bundle. Handle during legacy web-admin cleanup unless internet exposure or register_globals is confirmed. If both are present, prioritize remediation promptly because database administrators are high-value targets. Mitigation focus: Inventory phpMyAdmin instances and remove unsupported versions from production exposure.; Disable PHP register_globals wherever present.; Restrict phpMyAdmin access to trusted networks and authenticated administrators..
