A vulnerability was found in phpMyAdmin (Database Administration Software). It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown functionality of the file read_dump.php of the component Error Message Handler. The manipulation of the argument zero_rows with an unknown input leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-80.
