CVE-2018-12613: File inclusion and remote code execution attack

A flaw has been discovered where an attacker can include (view and potentially execute) files on the server.
The vulnerability comes from a portion of code where pages are redirected and loaded within phpMyAdmin, and an improper test for whitelisted pages.
An attacker must be authenticated, except in these situations:

• $cfg[‘AllowArbitraryServer’] = true: attacker can specify any host he/she is already in control of, and execute arbitrary code on phpMyAdmin
• $cfg[‘ServerDefault’] = 0: this bypasses the login and runs the vulnerable code without any authentication

Affected Versions:

phpMyAdmin 4.8.0 and 4.8.1 are affected.
