Name: CVE-2008-3457 Status: Candidate URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3457 Reference: MISC:http://yehg.net/lab/pr0js/advisories/XSS_inPhpMyAdmin2.11.7.pdf Reference: CONFIRM:http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security.php?issue=PMASA-2008-6 Reference: FRSIRT:ADV-2008-2226 Reference: URL:http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2008/2226/references Reference: SECUNIA:31263 Reference: URL:http://secunia.com/advisories/31263 Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in setup.php in phpMyAdmin before 2.11.8 allows user-assisted remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted setup arguments. NOTE: this issue can only be exploited in limited scenarios in which the attacker must be able to modify config/config.inc.php.
Hmm where is the issue here? Sure the application is vulnerable if an attacker can edit a file that is included all over the place. I think you have way more problems than an XSS in setup.php in such a case.
