phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2, as distributed by the cdnetworks-kr-1 mirror during an unspecified time frame in 2012, contains an externally introduced modification (Trojan Horse) in server_sync.php, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via an eval injection attack.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2 download from the cdnetworks-kr-1 mirror in 2012 was reportedly tampered with to include a backdoor. If installed, it could let a remote attacker run PHP code on the server. This was a supply-chain compromise of a distributed package, not a normal phpMyAdmin software flaw. Exposure is most likely limited to systems that downloaded phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2 from the cdnetworks-kr-1 mirror during the affected 2012 window. Current exposure would mainly come from legacy servers, old backups restored to production, unmanaged webroots, or inherited images containing the trojaned file. Treat as high priority only where legacy phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2 from the affected mirror may exist. The business risk is server compromise through a supply-chain backdoor, but likely exposure is narrow and historical unless old systems remain online. Mitigation focus: Identify any phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2 deployments or archived installation sources.; Replace suspect installations with verified phpMyAdmin packages from official sources.; Check vendor PMASA-2012-5 guidance for incident-specific remediation details..
