Description

phpMyFAQ team reports:

phpMyFAQ doesn't implement sufficient checks to avoid XSS when

storing on attachments filenames. The 'sharing FAQ' functionality

allows any unauthenticated actor to misuse the phpMyFAQ application

to send arbitrary emails to a large range of targets. phpMyFAQ's

user removal page allows an attacker to spoof another user's

detail, and in turn make a compelling phishing case for removing

another user's account.

Solution(s)

  • freebsd-upgrade-package-phpmyfaq-php81
  • freebsd-upgrade-package-phpmyfaq-php82
  • freebsd-upgrade-package-phpmyfaq-php83

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
