phpMyAdmin 2.11.x before 2.11.11.2, and 3.3.x before 3.3.9.1, does not properly handle the absence of the (1) README, (2) ChangeLog, and (3) LICENSE files, which allows remote attackers to obtain the installation path via a direct request for a nonexistent file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Old phpMyAdmin installations could reveal their server-side installation path when certain bundled documentation files were missing. This is not described as data theft or code execution, but it can give attackers useful reconnaissance information about the server layout. Exposure is limited to reachable phpMyAdmin deployments in the affected 2.11.x and 3.3.x ranges, especially legacy systems or old distribution packages. The source bundle does not provide affected CPEs or broader product claims. Treat this as low urgency unless the affected phpMyAdmin is internet-facing or part of an already fragile legacy stack. Prioritize removal or upgrade during normal legacy application remediation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade phpMyAdmin to 2.11.11.2, 3.3.9.1, or later supported releases.; Apply relevant vendor package updates if using Fedora or Mandriva-distributed packages.; Restrict phpMyAdmin access to trusted networks or authenticated administrative paths..
