Vigil@nce: phpMyAdmin, code execution via server_databases.php

September 2008 by Vigil@nce

An attacker with a phpMyAdmin account can use server_databases.php
to execute code on the server.

 Gravity: 2/4
 Consequences: privileged access/rights
 Provenance: user account
 Means of attack: 1 attack
 Ability of attacker: technician (2/4)
 Confidence: confirmed by the editor (5/5)
 Diffusion of the vulnerable configuration: high (3/3)
 Creation date: 16/09/2008
 Identifier: VIGILANCE-VUL-8110

IMPACTED PRODUCTS

 Unix - plateform

DESCRIPTION

The server_databases.php script of phpMyAdmin manages the database
(create, delete). Access to this script is restricted to
authenticated phpMyAdmin users.

The PMA_DBI_get_databases_full() function of the
database_interface.lib.php file returns the sorted database list.
The sorting function is dynamically created with
create_function(), from the value of $sort_by. However, this value
is a parameter of server_databases.php.

An authenticated attacker can therefore execute PHP code, which
can call external code with exec().
