The primary attack vectors can be summarized into three categories:
: Since phpMyAdmin is a web interface, it is frequently targeted by automated brute-force tools if it is not protected by IP whitelisting or basic auth. Exploitation Techniques Local File Inclusion (LFI)
Check $cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] = true; in config.inc.php – allows attacker to connect to external MySQL servers.
If you manage to read system files, grab /var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.MYD or user.MYI to crack MySQL password hashes (pre-8.0 uses mysql_native_password ).
