Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2014-4955 is an authenticated cross-site scripting issue in phpMyAdmin trigger handling. A logged-in user could create a crafted trigger name that is mishandled on the database triggers page, allowing browser-side script or HTML injection. Business impact depends on who can access phpMyAdmin and what privileges their session has. Exposure is limited to environments running the affected phpMyAdmin branches where authenticated users can create or influence database trigger names and later view the triggers page. Treat this as a targeted remediation item, not an emergency internet-wide crisis. Prioritize systems where phpMyAdmin is exposed to many users, externally reachable, or used for sensitive database administration. Mitigation focus: Upgrade phpMyAdmin 4.0.x to 4.0.10.1 or later.; Upgrade phpMyAdmin 4.1.x to 4.1.14.2 or later.; Upgrade phpMyAdmin 4.2.x to 4.2.6 or later..
