Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in security/xamppsecurity.php in XAMPP 1.6.8 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that change a certain .htaccess password via the xampppasswd parameter.

security/xamppsecurity.php in XAMPP 1.6.8 performs an extract operation on the SERVER superglobal array, which allows remote attackers to spoof critical variables, as demonstrated by setting the REMOTE_ADDR variable to 127.0.0.1.

XAMPP installs multiple packages with insecure default passwords, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via (1) the "lampp" default password for the "nobody" account within the included ProFTPD installation, (2) a blank default password for the "root" account within the included MySQL installation, (3) a blank default password for the "pma" account within the phpMyAdmin installation, and possibly other unspecified passwords. NOTE: this was originally reported as a problem in DFLabs PTK, but this issue affects any product that is installed within the XAMPP environment, and should not be viewed as a vulnerability within that product. NOTE: DFLabs states that PTK is intended for use in a laboratory with "no contact from / to internet."

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in adodb.php in XAMPP for Windows 1.6.8 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) dbserver, (2) host, (3) user, (4) password, (5) database, and (6) table parameters. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in XAMPP 1.6.7, when register_globals is enabled, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the text parameter to (1) iart.php and (2) ming.php.
