PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪

🧪 No relevant tests

🔒 Security concerns Database Security: The configuration allows empty root passwords and no-password authentication (AllowNoPassword = true) for both MySQL and MariaDB servers. This could potentially expose the databases to unauthorized access if not properly secured in a production environment. Additionally, the hard-coded blowfish_secret could be a security risk if this configuration file is shared or version controlled.

⚡ Recommended focus areas for review Security Configuration The configuration allows empty root passwords and no-password access for both MySQL and MariaDB servers. This should be reviewed to ensure it aligns with security requirements. $mysqlRootPwd = ''; $mariadbPort = 3307; $mariadbRootUser = 'root'; $mariadbRootPwd = ''; /** * MySQL server */ $i++; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'MySQL port ' . $mysqlPort; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = $mysqlPort; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = $mysqlRootUser; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = $mysqlRootPwd; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true; Hard-coded Secret The blowfish_secret is hard-coded in the configuration file. Consider making this configurable or generated dynamically. $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'MJkN7gbnKdyEjaR0sY}C=aX/VUCZYH3T'; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Score
Security	Remove hardcoded encryption key The hardcoded blowfish secret key in the configuration file poses a security risk. Generate a unique random key for each installation. bin/phpmyadmin5.2.2/config.inc.php [17] -$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'MJkN7gbnKdyEjaR0sY}C=aX/VUCZYH3T'; +$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; // Generate a unique 32-char random string during installation Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 10 Why: Hardcoding encryption keys in source code is a critical security vulnerability that could lead to unauthorized access. The key should be unique per installation and kept secure.	10
	Disable no-password authentication Allowing no password authentication for root users is a critical security vulnerability. Set AllowNoPassword to false. bin/phpmyadmin5.2.2/config.inc.php [44] -$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true; +$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false; Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 10 Why: Allowing root access without password is a severe security risk that could lead to unauthorized database access and system compromise. This should be disabled by default.	10
Possible issue	Enable binary field protection Setting ProtectBinary to false allows editing of binary fields, which could lead to data corruption. Use the default 'blob' setting for safety. bin/phpmyadmin5.2.2/config.inc.php [140] -$cfg['ProtectBinary'] = 'false'; +$cfg['ProtectBinary'] = 'blob'; Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 Why: Setting ProtectBinary to false removes safeguards against accidental binary data corruption. Using the default 'blob' setting is important for data integrity.	8
