Overview

phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin is MySQL web administration tool.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. The restrictions caused by AllowNoPassword = false are bypassed under certain PHP versions. This can allow the login of users who have no password set even if the administrator has set AllowNoPassword to false (which is also the default).
