CVE-2007-5589

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—💥 Exploit

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin before 2.11.1.2 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via certain input available in (1) PHP_SELF in (a) server_status.php, and (b) grab_globals.lib.php, (c) display_change_password.lib.php, and (d) common.lib.php in libraries/; and certain input available in PHP_SELF and (2) PATH_INFO in libraries/common.inc.php. NOTE: there might also be other vectors related to (3) REQUEST_URI.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Base score: 4.3

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.33%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 88
Score date: 10/8/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
