Arbitrary File Inclusion Vulnerability in phpMyAdmin

CVE-2005-3300 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

The register_globals emulation layer in grab_globals.php for phpMyAdmin before 2.6.4-pl3 does not perform safety checks on values in the _FILES array for uploaded files, which allows remote attackers to include arbitrary files by using direct requests to library scripts that do not use grab_globals.php, then modifying certain configuration values for the theme.
