If that URL is copied correctly, it might be because there's no "&" between
the server=000 and the cfgServers[000][host].

If not, maybe your particular configuration isn't vulnerable.

If you use a Apache Auth for access to the folder and normal auth in
phpmyadmin, you are not vulnerable to outsiders but *you* can still view a
server's sensitive files which can be really dangerous in a shared server
environment.
