33
FAUCET Score

CVE-2021-29625 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Adminer versions 4.6.1 to 4.8.0 when used with MySQL, MariaDB, PgSQL, or SQLite, specifically when communicating via a pdo_ extension and in browsers without strict Content Security Policy (CSP). This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.1) allows for client-side code execution, potentially leading to information disclosure or unauthorized actions, and requires user interaction. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code like Metasploit or ExploitDB entries, a Nuclei template exists for detection. The vulnerability is patched in Adminer 4.8.1, and workarounds include using a CSP-enabled browser or enabling native PHP database extensions.
