• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

phpMyAdmin Local File Inclusion and Cross-Site Scripting

Maksymilian Arciemowicz has reported some vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and disclose sensitive information.

1) Input passed to the "strServer", "cfg[BgcolorOne]", and "strServerChoice" parameters in "select_server.lib.php", the "bgcolor" and "row_no" parameters in "display_tbl_links.lib.php", the "left_font_family" parameter in "theme_left.css.php", and the "right_font_family" parameter in "theme_right.css.php" is not properly sanitised before being returned to users. 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.

2) Input passed to the "GLOBALS[cfg][ThemePath]" parameter in "phpmyadmin.css.php" and "cfg[Server][extension]" parameter in "database_interface.lib.php" is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled and that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.6.1. Other versions may also be affected.

It is also possible to disclose the full path to certain scripts by accessing them directly.

Solution:
Update to version 2.6.1-pl1.

Question is when PLESK will update phpMyAdmin?
