 - phpMyFAQ is an open source FAQ web application. In versions prior to 4.0.16, an unauthenticated remote
 attacker can trigger generation of a configuration backup ZIP via `POST /api/setup/backup` and then
 download the generated ZIP from a web-accessible location. The ZIP contains sensitive configuration files
