{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2016-9847","details":"An issue was discovered in phpMyAdmin. When the user does not specify a blowfish_secret key for encrypting cookies, phpMyAdmin generates one at runtime. A vulnerability was reported where the way this value is created uses a weak algorithm. This could allow an attacker to determine the user's blowfish_secret and potentially decrypt their cookies. All 4.6.x versions (prior to 4.6.5), 4.4.x versions (prior to 4.4.15.9), and 4.0.x versions (prior to 4.0.10.18) are affected.","modified":"2026-09-01T16:00:30.208705202Z","published":"2016-12-11T02:59:44.553Z","upstream":["CVE-2016-9847"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-9847"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"phpmyadmin","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/phpmyadmin?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4:4.6.5.1-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2016-9847.json"}},{"package":{"name":"phpmyadmin","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/phpmyadmin?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4:4.6.5.1-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2016-9847.json"}},{"package":{"name":"phpmyadmin","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/phpmyadmin?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4:4.6.5.1-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2016-9847.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N"}]}
