In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.8, the decryption of the username/password is vulnerable to a padding oracle attack. The can allow an attacker who has access to a user's browser cookie file to decrypt the username and password. Also, the same initialization vector (IV) is used to hash the username and password stored in the phpMyAdmin cookie. If a user has the same password as their username, an attacker who examines the browser cookie can see that they are the same (CVE-2016-6606).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.8, multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the following areas of phpMyAdmin: Zoom search, GIS editor, Relation view, several Transformations, XML export, MediaWiki export, Designer, when the MySQL server is running with a specially-crafted log_bin directive, Database tab, Replication feature, and Database search (CVE-2016-6607).

In phpMyAdmin before 4.4.15.8, a vulnerability was found where a specially crafted database name could be used to run arbitrary PHP commands through the array export feature (CVE-2016-6609).
