phpMyFAQ Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

The phpMyFAQ application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of a user visiting the affected site. This can lead to the theft of authentication credentials and enable the attacker to launch further attacks.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to phpMyFAQ version 2.6.9 or later. Additionally, input validation and output encoding should be implemented to sanitize user-supplied data and prevent XSS attacks.

phpMyFAQ is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
