phpMyAdmin's team answer to vulnerability announcement of Dec 17, 2005 [ http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/419709/30/0/threaded ]
We don't think that this is a real threat. The server_privileges.php script checks at the beginning if the user is privileged. So, for this attack to work, the victim's phpMyAdmin installation would have to be set as to allow any user to auto-login as a privileged user! If this is the case, this phpMyAdmin installation is wide open and this situation has to be fixed by the person who configured phpMyAdmin.
