XSS vulnerability when a text to link transformation is used.
When the TextLinkTransformationPlugin is used to create a link to an object when displaying the contents of a table, the object name is not properly escaped, which could lead to an XSS, if the object name has a crafted value.
We consider this vulnerability to be non critical.
The stored XSS vulnerabilities can be triggered only by someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required forms.
Versions 4.0.x (prior to 4.0.4.2) are affected.
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.0.4.2 or newer or apply the patches listed below.
