Description

The checkHTTP function in libraries/Config.class.php in phpMyAdmin 4.5.x before 4.5.5.1 does not verify X.509 certificates from api.github.com SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof these servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.

Affected configurations

• phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 4.5.0 • phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 4.5.0.1 • phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 4.5.0.2 • phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 4.5.1 • phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 4.5.2 • phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 4.5.3 • phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 4.5.3.1 • phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 4.5.4 • phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 4.5.4.1 • phpmyadmin phpmyadmin 4.5.5
