CVSS v3.1
7.6
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
phpMyFAQ versions 3.2.10 through 4.0.2
Description
The issue allows an attacker to inject malicious HTML content into the FAQ editor at "http://localhost/admin/index.php?action=editentry", resulting in a complete disruption of the FAQ page's user interface. By injecting malformed HTML elements styled to cover the entire screen, an attacker can render the page unusable. This injection manipulates the page structure by introducing overlapping buttons, images, and iframes, breaking the intended layout and functionality. Exploiting this issue can lead to Denial of Service for legitimate users, damage to the user experience, and potential abuse in phishing or defacement attacks.
Recommendations
For versions 3.2.10 through 4.0.2, update to version 4.0.2 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the FAQ editor at "http://localhost/admin/index.php?action=editentry" until a patch is applied.
Avoid using the FAQ editor until the issue is resolved.
