Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: vrana
Product: adminer

Description

Adminer before 6.0.2 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability where the CONNECTION_ID() database result is interpolated into JavaScript without proper escaping, allowing a malicious database server to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the authenticated Adminer origin. In co-located deployments where the database has FILE privileges and can write to the webroot, attackers can use the XSS to submit authenticated SQL requests that write PHP files via INTO DUMPFILE, achieving remote code execution as the web server account.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-100695 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in Adminer prior to version 6.0.2. The vulnerability arises because the CONNECTION_ID() database result is interpolated into JavaScript without proper escaping, enabling a malicious database server to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the authenticated Adminer origin. In scenarios where the database user has FILE privileges and can write to the webroot, attackers can exploit this XSS to perform authenticated SQL queries that write PHP files using INTO DUMPFILE, resulting in remote code execution under the web server account.

Potential Impact

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the authenticated Adminer session, which can lead to session hijacking or other client-side attacks. More critically, in environments where the database has FILE privileges and can write to the webroot, attackers can escalate this to remote code execution by writing PHP files via SQL commands, compromising the server with the web server's privileges.

Mitigation Recommendations

Adminer version 6.0.2 or later addresses this vulnerability. Users should upgrade to Adminer 6.0.2 or newer to remediate this issue. No other mitigations are specified in the provided data.
