An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. Due to the limitation in URL matching, it was possible to bypass the URL white-list protection. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.18) are affected.
CVE-2016-9861
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 1.8%, top 24% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
