mySQL user

Hi

When i login to phpmyadmin using any user, I am able to see all databases, tables and data of other users as well.

What might be wrong?

Hi,

It could happen if you accessed phpMyAdmin as "root" then opened the user level control panel and opened phpMyAdmin.

Log out from phpMyAdmin (it isn't enough to just close the phpmyadmin in the browser) and then try to access phpmyadmin as a regular user.

Did that. Even used a different browser.

Definitely not how my server behaves. I login to the /pma link as a user account with their password and I can only see the DB that the user owns, not the extent of the full server-wide DB.

When under a user control panel, you go to the Databases > phpMyAdmin link:
https://yourserver.tld:2083/cwp_SESSIONID/username/?module=pma
should forward you to:
https://yourserver.tld:2087/pma/index.php?route=/&route=%2F

Is that what you see happening? And what if you directly load PMA?
https://yourserver.tld:2087/pma/
Do you get a login screen where you can login as a user?

Yes. This is happening as you mentioned.

But when I login with a db user at https://yourserver.tld:2087/pma/, I am getting access to all other users DBs

Got answer from here

Deleting user "Any" resolved the issue. Not sure if I have created any other issue due to this.

As of now all good.

Perhaps that came from a cPanel migration? I don't have an "any" user on any of my servers...

Surprised to see that

Hope not a malware / hacking issue

As a matter of course on a new server, run

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/mariadb-secure-installationMake sure the default test DB is removed to close up these types of potential security holes.
