An issue in phpMyAdmin 4.8.x before 4.8.2 lets an attacker include and potentially execute files on the server, because the code that redirects and loads pages inside phpMyAdmin improperly checks whitelisted pages. Exploitation normally requires an authenticated session, but the flaw can be reached without authentication when the configuration sets ServerDefault to 0 (bypassing the login requirement), and it can lead to arbitrary code execution when AllowArbitraryServer is enabled and the attacker controls a host they can specify.
An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin 4.8.x before 4.8.2, in which an attacker can 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).
First seen exploited 4 years after disclosure. Public exploit code (Metasploit) was available 2 days before disclosure.
