Upgrade phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin to version 4.7.0 or higher.

Overview

phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin is a web interface for MySQL and MariaDB.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data via the Transformation implementation in libraries/Header.php. Due to the lack of a 'no-referrer' content security policy, an attacker can extract information, including the authentication token found in the Referer header, which can then be exploited for CSRF attacks.
