Improper input validation in Vrana Adminer

CVE-2026-34959

Adminer 4.6.0 before 5.5.0 prepends the client-supplied X-Forwarded-Prefix header to $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] with no trusted-proxy check and no validation of the prefix value. An attacker can supply an absolute URL (e.g. X-Forwarded-Prefix: https://evil.example) that flows into Location redirect headers, the Set-Cookie path attribute, and self-referential links. This enables an authenticated open redirect after state-changing POSTs, unauthenticated control of the session cookie path attribute, and poisoning of self-referential links; CR/LF cannot be injected, so header splitting/XSS is not possible.
