How to fix?

Upgrade phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin to version 4.4.15.9, 4.6.5 or higher.

Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure when calling some scripts that are part of phpMyAdmin in an unexpected way. An attacker can trigger phpMyAdmin to display a PHP error message which contains the full path of the directory where phpMyAdmin is installed by exploiting this vulnerability. This is only exploitable if the attacker has network access to the server.
