Adminer before 6.0.2 XSS via CONNECTION_ID escalating to RCE

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

Adminer before 6.0.2 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability where the CONNECTION_ID() database result is interpolated into JavaScript without proper escaping, allowing a malicious database server to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the authenticated Adminer origin. In co-located deployments where the database has FILE privileges and can write to the webroot, attackers can use the XSS to submit authenticated SQL requests that write PHP files via INTO DUMPFILE, achieving remote code execution as the web server account.
