Dangerous default configuration, avoid

This pre-fabricated stack runs a MySQL database with no root password and a PHPMyAdmin setup accessible via port 80. You'll be scanned and your data exfiltrated and extorted by a bot within 24 hours of standing up an instance with this stack configurated the way it is.

There are far better, more secure, LAMP stacks on the AWS Marketplace like those from Bitnami that don't expose you to the dangers this configuration exposes you to.

Avoid.
