Description

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin 3.5.x before 3.5.8.2 and 4.0.x before 4.0.4.2 allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) the scale parameter to pmd_pdf.php or (2) the pdf_page_number parameter to schema_export.php.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
