DescriptionCVE.org

phpMyFAQ before 4.1.5 applies inconsistent active=yes and publication-date filtering across its public FAQ API endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve inactive (draft or review-only) FAQ content. Specifically, GET /api/v3.1/faq/{categoryId}/{faqId} returns the inactive FAQ title and full answer, while GET /api/v3.1/faqs/tags/{tagId} and GET /api/v4.0/faqs/tags/{tagId} return the inactive FAQ title and answer preview, disclosing non-public content.

AnalysisAI

{categoryId}/{faqId}, and title-plus-preview content via the v3.1 and v4.0 tag-based endpoints - all without credentials. No public exploit has been identified and this vulnerability is not in CISA KEV, though the AV:N/PR:N vector makes exploitation trivially simple for anyone who can reach the API.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special conditions are required beyond network reachability of the phpMyFAQ API - the affected endpoints are intentionally public-facing. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N reflects a trivially exploitable, zero-friction unauthenticated network attack - no special tools, credentials, or configuration are required beyond HTTP access. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker discovers a publicly accessible phpMyFAQ instance and, with no authentication, iterates category and FAQ ID values in GET /api/v3.1/faq/{categoryId}/{faqId} using standard HTTP requests. For each inactive FAQ found, the endpoint returns the full unpublished title and answer body. …
Remediation Upgrade to phpMyFAQ 4.1.5 or later, which applies consistent active-status and publication-date filtering across all public API endpoints (vendor advisory: https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/security/advisories/GHSA-mf8r-wm2w-f8c5). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
