The phpMyAdmin development team reports:

Self-XSS due to unescaped HTML output in recent/favorite tables navigation.

When marking a crafted database or table name as favorite or having it in recent tables, it is possible to trigger an XSS.

This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required form.

Self-XSS due to unescaped HTML output in navigation items hiding feature.

When hiding or unhiding a crafted table name in the navigation, it is possible to trigger an XSS.

This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required form.
