Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions phpMyFAQ versions prior to 3.1.9

Description The issue is related to stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in the GitHub repository thorsten/phpmyfaq. This type of attack occurs when an application stores user input in a database or file and later displays it to users without proper validation or escaping, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts. No information is provided about the estimated number of potentially affected devices or real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.1.9, update to version 3.1.9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider implementing input validation and sanitization for user-input data to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict access to sensitive areas of the application where user input is displayed to minimize the risk of XSS attacks.
