TITLE:
phpMyAdmin Table Comment Script Insertion Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA22969

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/22969/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
phpMyAdmin 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/1720/

DESCRIPTION:
Laurent Gaffié and Benjamin Mossé have discovered a vulnerability in
phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct
script insertion attacks.

Input passed to the "Table comments" form field parameter in
tbl_create.php and tbl_properties_operations.php is not properly
sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert
arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site when the database
containing the table is viewed.

Successful exploitation requires valid user credentials.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.9.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

Don't grant untrusted users the permission to create or alter tables.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Laurent Gaffié and Benjamin Mossé
