Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions thorsten/phpmyfaq versions prior to 3.1.14

Description The issue is related to a stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attack. This type of attack occurs when an application stores user input that contains malicious scripts, which are then executed by the application, allowing an attacker to perform unauthorized actions. In this case, the attack can be perpetuated by an actor logged in as admin.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.1.14, update to version 3.1.14 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to admin roles to minimize the risk of exploitation.
