The following article describes how, during an "assumed breach" security audit, we compromised multiple web applications on our client's network in order to carry out a watering hole attack by installing fake Single Sign-On pages on the compromised servers.

We will take phpMyAdmin version 2.11.5 as an example, as this is the version we encountered during the audit.
