phpMyFAQ before 4.1.3 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the password reset endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to reset any user account password without token verification or email confirmation. Attackers can enumerate valid usernames, obtain plaintext passwords via email, and achieve complete account takeover including administrative access.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in phpMyFAQ before 4.1.3 lets any unauthenticated remote attacker reset arbitrary user passwords - including SuperAdmin - by sending a PUT request to /api/user/password/update with only a valid username/email pair, with no token, rate limit, or out-of-band confirmation. The vendor-issued GHSA-w9xh-5f39-vq89 advisory and VulnCheck disclosure document the flaw, and publicly available exploit code exists in the form of a PoC curl invocation; no CISA KEV listing or EPSS score is provided in the input.
