DescriptionCVE.org

phpMyFAQ versions before 4.1.7 fail to validate active status in the PDF export endpoint, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve draft FAQ metadata. Attackers can access the public PDF export route with sequential FAQ identifiers to obtain titles, solution IDs, author names, and last-update timestamps of inactive or unpublished FAQs.

AnalysisAI

phpMyFAQ before version 4.1.7 fails to validate the active/published status of FAQ entries in its PDF export endpoint, enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve metadata for draft and unpublished FAQ items. By iterating sequential FAQ identifiers against the publicly accessible PDF export route, an attacker can harvest titles, solution IDs, author names, and last-update timestamps of content not yet approved for public release. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special conditions are required beyond network access to the phpMyFAQ PDF export endpoint. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 reflects AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N, confirming the vulnerability is trivially reachable over the network with no preconditions, yet the confidentiality impact is bounded to VC:L with no integrity or availability consequence, capping real damage to metadata disclosure. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker identifies a publicly accessible phpMyFAQ instance and submits HTTP GET requests to the PDF export endpoint using sequential integer FAQ identifiers. For each draft or inactive FAQ in the database, the endpoint returns metadata including the entry title, solution ID, author name, and last-update timestamp, allowing the attacker to reconstruct the unpublished content inventory without credentials or specialized tooling.
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade phpMyFAQ to version 4.1.7 or later, as confirmed by the vendor advisory at https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/security/advisories/GHSA-f8pr-32pp-mp7h. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
