{"id":"CVE-2018-12613","aliases":["GHSA-x394-g9j8-x7mf"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2018-12613","summary":"phpMyAdmin Improper Authentication","details":"An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 4.8.x before 4.8.2, in which an attacker can include (view and potentially execute) files on the server. The vulnerability comes from a portion of code where pages are redirected and loaded within phpMyAdmin, and an improper test for whitelisted pages. An attacker must be authenticated, except in the \"$cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] = true\" case (where an attacker can specify any host he/she is already in control of, and execute arbitrary code on phpMyAdmin) and the \"$cfg['ServerDefault'] = 0\" case (which bypasses the login requirement and runs the vulnerable code without any authentication).","published":"2018-06-21T20:29:00.327Z","modified":"2026-07-08T17:57:30.373827Z","cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":{"score":0.9835,"percentile":0.99915,"asOf":"2026-09-08"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":13,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin","fixedVersion":"4.8.2"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/104532"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201904-16"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/44928/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2018-4/"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/164623/phpMyAdmin-4.8.1-Remote-Code-Execution.html"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/44924/"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/45020/"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-08T17:57:30.373827Z"}}
