SCA: security update for phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq, thorsten/phpmyfaq (GHSA-8c6h-7g6x-m5x4)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443832

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. Versions prior to 4.1.4 have Missing Authorization in the
 API CategoryController. CVE-2026-24421 addressed this in the BackupController by adding:
 $this->userHasPermission(PermissionType::BACKUP). The same fix was not applied to 4 other write endpoints
 in the public API. All 4 only call $this->hasValidToken() — which checks a shared API key header, rather
 than the individual user's role permissions. The following APIs are affected: POST /api/v4.0/category
 (CategoryController::create), POST /api/v4.0/faq (FaqController::create), PUT /api/v4.0/faq
 (FaqController::update), and POST /api/v4.0/question (QuestionController::create). This issue has been
 fixed in version 4.1.4. (CVE-2026-49205)

Solution

Update the phpmyfaq/phpmyfaq library and its related packages to version 4.1.4 or later.
