What if a hacker would have access to a user of said personal intranet, or would find a way to bypass the password protected page. Then he'd be able to execute anything on the server, even stuff the user he hacked shouldn't be able to access. So no, this is always a vulnerability.

- coldtea 12y agoThose are different, as they only do what they are meant to do (give access to the databases). They don't give untintended full access to the web server. That said, they are a little insecure.

Also, on a a sufficiently misconfigured server, you could always use \! (mysql's shell_exec, etc.) with phpmyadmin etc. to open a remote shell somewhere, then work from there.
