An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2012-5159 exists.\n\nAffected product: Phpmyadmin Phpmyadmin. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5159/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5159/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-5159","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5159/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-5159","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g39j-4qc9-5rh4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Database administration tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A trojanized phpMyAdmin mirror allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via eval injection in server_sync.php.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"phpmyadmin","vendor":"phpmyadmin"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2, as distributed by the cdnetworks-kr-1 mirror during an unspecified time frame in 2012, contains an externally introduced modification (Trojan Horse) in server_sync.php, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via an eval injection attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-09-25","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-09-25","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/multi/http/phpmyadmin_3522_backdoor","stars":null,"title":"phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2 server_sync.php Backdoor"},{"date":"2012-10-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"21834","stars":null,"title":"phpMyAdmin 3.5.2.2 - 'server_sync.php' Backdoor (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5159","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"phpmyadmin:phpmyadmin","products":["phpmyadmin:phpmyadmin"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5161"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5158"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-09-25","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-7251","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-01-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"phpMyAdmin unsafely handles temporary files","id":"CVE-2008-7252","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-01-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0203","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-01-11"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1147","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-12-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"phpmyadmin contains SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-22452","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"phpMyAdmin SQL injection in Designer feature","id":"CVE-2019-11768","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"phpMyAdmin SQL injection in Designer feature","id":"CVE-2019-6798","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-01-26"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A trojanized phpMyAdmin mirror allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via eval injection in server_sync.php.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5159/"}
