Unauthenticated database access via embedded phpMyAdmin credentials
Published May 6, 2026 · Updated May 6, 2026
Missing authentication in Vvveb before 1.0.8.2 allows remote attackers to read and write its database through bundled phpMyAdmin. The Docker Compose file publishes phpMyAdmin on host port 8081 and sets PMA_USER and PMA_PASSWORD, forcing config authentication that logs every request in as the privileged Vvveb database user. Exposure requires deployment of the bundled Apache Compose stack and network reachability to port 8081; successful access permits database disclosure, modification, and administrator-account takeover.
