How to fix?

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 Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) through the setup script. An attacker can manipulate the server to make unauthorized requests by leveraging a race condition between editing and using the file, leading to brute-force attacks on MySQL servers that allow remote logins, detect internal hostnames, and detect open ports on the internal network.
