Global variable scope injection.
The import.php script was vulnerable to GLOBALS variable injection. Therefore, an attacker could manipulate any configuration parameter.
We consider this vulnerability to be serious.
This vulnerability 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 form.
Versions 4.0.x up to 4.0.4 are affected.
Versions prior to 4.0.0 are not affected.
Upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.0.4.1 or newer, or apply the patch listed below.
