phpMyAdmin 4.7.7
Released 2017-12-23.

Welcome to phpMyAdmin 4.7.7, a regular maintenance release containing bug fixes and a security fix.

The security vulnerability is a XSRF/CSRF flaw; you can read more at https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2017-9/
As a result of this, we recommend all users upgrade immediately.

Why not manually updating it?

why not automatically updated by CWP, or at least adding the repo automatically and let yum-cron take care?

phpMyAdmin is apparently not a yum package but a scripted installation by CWP. Hence it can be expected that CWP feeds those apps installed by script frequently, in particular with security patches

Once can create a bash script to install phpmyadmin auomatically

yum install composer -y
git clone https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin.git
cd phpmyadmin
yes | cp -rv * /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/pma/
cd /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/pma/
chown -R cwpsvc:cwpsvc *
composer update
service cwp-phpfpm restart

yes indeed, that did the update  Thank you

Is the git clone permanent on the hard disk somewhere because I cannot trace it now? Ran git clone from / but it does not show there or in /root and I would like to exercise some sanity on the disk

cd /root/phpmyadmin

Maybe this could offered as option in the GUI (script via cron) to run monthly, basically a set and forget for the user

As suggested by @bullten running it as as script through cron bi-weekly. Would be good to have an update option incorporated into the SQL section of the root panel
