CVE-2016-5097
phpMyAdmin before 4.6.2 places tokens in query strings and does not arrange for them to be stripped before external navigation, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading (1) HTTP requests or (2) server logs.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.49%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
