Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions phpMyFAQ versions prior to 4.1.4

Description Missing authorization in the public API allows users to bypass role permission checks. The system only verifies a shared API key header via the hasValidToken() function instead of validating individual user permissions. This affects the following endpoints:

• "POST /api/v4.0/category" (CategoryController::create)
• "POST /api/v4.0/faq" (FaqController::create)
• "PUT /api/v4.0/faq" (FaqController::update)
• "POST /api/v4.0/question" (QuestionController::create)

Recommendations Update to version 4.1.4.
