[Phpmyadmin-devel] unserialize in user preferences

[Michal Čihař]

Hi all

while looking at user preferences I've noticed that it uses
serialize/unserialize for storing the data in database. As this
functions is quite famous in terms of security, I think we
should avoid this.

Any reason for not using json encoding there instead? It encodes just
the data and would not possibly call PHP code as unserialize could do
because of objects with __wakeup() methods.
