SQL injection relating to searching
An SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered where certain parameters are not properly escaped when generating certain queries for search actions within phpMyAdmin.
An attacker can generate specially-crafted database or table names. The attack can be performed if a user attempts certain search operations on the malicious database or table.
Because of the specific steps required to exploit this, we consider this vulnerability to be of moderate severity.
