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.

This is only exploitable if the attacker has network access to the server.
