DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the phpMyAdmin extension for
TYPO3, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain
security restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to the extension not properly
restricting access to administrative users only, which can be
exploited to gain access to the database administration interface by
accessing a specially crafted URL.

Successful exploitation requires standard TYPO3 backend editor
rights.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 4.1.0 through 4.8.0.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.8.1.
