Written by Marcelo Almeida (Vympel)

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via unspecified parameters to files in /libraries is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site...

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled and support for ".htaccess" files is disabled.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.11.7.

Solution:
Update to version 2.11.7.
