CVE-2011-2505 affects the Swekey authentication feature in phpMyAdmin, specifically libraries/auth/swekey/swekey.auth.lib.php in phpMyAdmin 3.x before 3.3.10.2 and 3.4.x before 3.4.3.1. The vulnerable code assigns values to arbitrary parameters referenced in the HTTP query string, enabling remote variable manipulation. As described, a crafted request can be used to modify entries in the PHP SESSION superglobal array. This can undermine expected application state handling and session integrity within the affected phpMyAdmin authentication flow.
