DescriptionNVD

phpMyFAQ before 4.1.3 contains an unauthenticated password reset vulnerability in the user password update API endpoint that allows attackers to change account passwords without token validation. Attackers can enumerate valid username and email pairs and force immediate password changes by sending PUT requests to the /api/index.php/user/password/update endpoint, causing account disruption and invalidating legitimate user credentials.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated account takeover in phpMyFAQ before 4.1.3 allows remote attackers to forcibly reset any user's password by sending a PUT request to the /api/index.php/user/password/update endpoint with a valid username and email pair. The endpoint also leaks valid credentials through response code differentials (200 vs 409), enabling username/email enumeration before the reset. …
