Phpmyadmin · Phpmyadmin · CVE-2011-2507
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
phpMyAdmin versions 3.x prior to 3.3.10.2
phpMyAdmin versions 3.4.x prior to 3.4.3.1
**Description**
The issue is related to the Synchronize implementation in phpMyAdmin, where the `libraries/server synchronize.lib.php` file does not properly quote regular expressions. This allows remote authenticated users to inject a PCRE e (aka PREG REPLACE EVAL) modifier, which can lead to the execution of arbitrary PHP code. The exploitation is possible by modifying the SESSION superglobal array.
**Recommendations**
For phpMyAdmin versions 3.x prior to 3.3.10.2, update to version 3.3.10.2 or later.
For phpMyAdmin versions 3.4.x prior to 3.4.3.1, update to version 3.4.3.1 or later.
