CVE-2013-3239: phpMyAdmin

Medium severity, CVSS 4.6. EPSS: 8.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

phpMyAdmin 3.5.x before 3.5.8 and 4.x before 4.0.0-rc3, when a SaveDir directory is configured, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code by using a double extension in the filename of an export file, leading to interpretation of this file as an executable file by the Apache HTTP Server, as demonstrated by a .php.sql filename.
