Summary
The checkHTTP function in libraries/Config.class.php in phpMyAdmin 4.5.x before 4.5.5.1 does not verify X.509 certificates from api.github.com SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof these servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
0.78% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 56% of all scored CVEs.
