Summary

phpMyAdmin through 5.2.3 contains a cross-site request forgery flaw (CWE-352) that lets remote attackers run arbitrary SQL by bypassing CSRF token checks on non-AJAX POST requests. An attacker can lure an authenticated victim into submitting a cross-site POST carrying sql_query to /sql or /database/sql, which runs SQL with the victim's database privileges under http or config authentication.
