https://www.phpmyadmin.net/news/The phpMyAdmin team is pleased to announce the release of phpMyAdmin version 4.8.4. Among other bug fixes, this contains several important security fixes.
The security fixes involve:
Local file inclusion (
https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2018-6/),
XSRF/CSRF vulnerabilities allowing a specially-crafted URL to perform harmful operations (
https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2018-7/), and
an XSS vulnerability in the navigation tree (
https://www.phpmyadmin.net/security/PMASA-2018-8/)
In addition to the security fixes, this release also includes these bug fixes and more as part of our regular release cycle:
Issue with changing theme
Ensure that database names with a dot ('.') are handled properly when DisableIS is true
Fix for message "Error while copying database (pma__column_info)"
Move operation causes "SELECT * FROM `undefined`" error
When logging with $cfg['AuthLog'] to syslog, successful login messages were not logged when $cfg['AuthLogSuccess'] was true
Multiple errors and regressions with Designer
To manually update download the package
https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/Rename /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/pma/ to /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/pmaBAK/
Create a new pma folder ...
Unzip it and upload to /usr/local/cwpsrv/var/services/pma/
Copy config.inc.php from the pmaBAK to the new pma folder.
You will get a warning when you first open phpMyAdmin but it shows instructions on how to fix it. Go to any database and open the operations tab. Creates an index I believe.
Delete the pmaBAK folder after testing the new install.
