Summary

Several versions of phpMyAdmin, specifically 4.7.x prior to 4.7.6.1/4.7.7, are susceptible to a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability. This weakness enables an attacker to trick authenticated users into clicking on a malicious link, leading to unauthorized execution of destructive database actions such as deleting records or manipulating tables. It is crucial for users of affected phpMyAdmin versions to implement necessary patches to safeguard their systems against potential attacks.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
