CVE-2018-19968 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Alpine:3.16 phpmyadmin to version 4.8.4-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream phpmyadmin package and not the phpmyadmin package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.16 relevant fixed versions and status.
An attacker can exploit phpMyAdmin before 4.8.4 to leak the contents of a local file because of an error in the transformation feature. The attacker must have access to the phpMyAdmin Configuration Storage tables, although these can easily be created in any database to which the attacker has access. An attacker must have valid credentials to log in to phpMyAdmin; this vulnerability does not allow an attacker to circumvent the login system.
